Grace Potter needs better management.  Or something.  Every time I've seen her in concert, I'm left with the same thoughts - she has good music, a great band, puts on an awesome live show, and she's hot.  How is she not a huge star?

Tonight they played for two solid hours.  Maybe two ballads in there.  The rest were just straight up rock songs.  One odd song choice, and I say this as someone who loves cover songs at concerts.  They played "White Rabbit."  Now, I would probably argue that everything is better with a little Grace Slick involved, but this was, um, not the best cover.  Anyway, we were near the front.  At one point near the end of the show, I turned around to check out the rest of the crowd, since 80% of is was either behind us or in the two balconies above us.  The entire first floor was standing, singing & generally rocking.  The third floor (of which I could only see the first couple of rows) looked to be the party deck.  I think I saw people making out amongst the hair flying.  The people in the second deck looked like they were watching a separate concert.  Sitting, not moving, not clapping, nothing.  It was odd.

As an added bonus the opening act was good as well, which I think is rare.  It was Langhorne Slim.  They got off to a shaky start.  The lead singer came out and said "Hello.  It's so great to be back in ... town tonight."  Yeah dude, you're in Milwaukee.  But they recovered enough to make me want to check out some of there stuff. 

Ok, must go to bed.  I have a half-day work conference to sit through on my day off tomorrow.  And I learned today that my boss isn't going to be able to be there, so I get to present something.  This should be fun.
