SEPTEMBER 30 – GABE’S, IOWA CITY, IA [SHOW #91]
Day 113.  26,765 miles.  Had a few days off in Iowa City to rehearse and work on some new material.  Went to see The Wheelers play at The Mill, got some rest at Don & Tara’s place in Kalona while they were away on their honeymoon.  The show at Gabe’s was a blast.  Mumford’s played a fantastically wild set.  The band is so much tighter after their recent tour, the horns were big, brassy and bold.  Utopia Park followed with a huge synth-driven sound.  We were quite blown away, and they were terrific and very energetic performers.
The jam in the van:  DJ Soul / Loose Lips Sink Ships
The word we heard:  “It’s nice to be playing with an American flag behind us” –Patrick, referring to the flag of Iowa hanging at the back of the stage.
Dinner was a winner:  The Oasis
Our friend the Bartend:  Ashley
We adore the door:  Shawn
Sound Tech we respect:  Andrew
The lightshow was delightful:  Lance
Sticks, strings and broken things:  Devin – 1 B string, 1 high E string
The fill of the bill:  Mumford’s / Utopia Park
Devin the girls won’t all look like babes when you are sober at Gabe’s
Monument / Calling Card / Pacific Sunrise / Porcelain Brain / Give It A Try / Thousand Colors / Camille Claudel / A Collage Of Impressions / Some Ordinary Vision / Start The Revolution / Friends In The Band / When The World Sleeps / Grab Me An Old Milwaukee
