Cadieux Cafe 9-19-2020 Recap, Setlist, and Video

Raising the Dead made our first two-set show as a 6-member ensemble one to remember!  Playing the Cadieux Cafe always seems to bring out our best.  Last February we were inside, pre-COVID, and featured the debut of Matt and Joe, with an unforgettable second set featuring an intense medley of The Music Never Stopped > Dark Star > St. Stephen > The Eleven > Drums > Samson and Delilah.  This time, we debuted no less than 6 songs, took our full band improv next-level, and really showed what having 5 great singers in the band can sound like. 

The crowd was masked and distanced and ready to move. We brought 2 subwoofers to make sure Bill's new Eden amp and stack got their due.  The neighbors complained before the setbreak and we toned it down a bit, without decreasing the intensity.  Some highlights of the night: we debuted our first Laurie-led songs, the Pigpen classics Big Boss Man and Midnight Hour, Dave preached on Throwing Stones, Max worked out his Crazy Fingers, Joe led a soulful Wharf Rat, Bill sang a well-harmonized Uncle John's Band, and Matt led the out-there improv on Playin' in the Band.  

Relive the show below, with crispy soundboard audio and video, with a Healy-inspired wide mix, rhythm guitar and keys panned hard.  

Oh, two more things: Day Job isn't really Matt's favorite song, and no, you can't play Joe's drums.
