I love live music but it can sometimes go on too long. When you aren't familiar with a band or are anxious to get back home, sometimes you find yourself mentally wishing the band would wrap it up. However, once in a while you luck out and catch a band that holds your attention AND manages to delight you despite everything.
MP3: Still Flyin' - Good Thing It's a Ghost Town Around Here
I'm sure I would have loved Still Flyin's set more if I knew more of their music, but really it would have only been the cherry on top of an already-tasty sundae. Still Flyin' are a jaw-dropping live act that pack even more excitement into their show than you'd expect from a band of more than a dozen members. Everyone on stage was throwing themselves into the performance -- especially the really tall guy who only seemed to enthusiastically dance behind the lead singer. I love the idea that a nationally touring band would bring along a guy just to dance.
And even though Still Flyin' had a fairly fat setlist, it still seemed like the night ended too soon. We managed to cheer them to a one-song encore (not "Smells Like Teen Spirit," as requested by a middle-aged audience member) but it still wasn't enough. As soon as they stopped playing, I found myself wondering when they'd be back.
