Greens last night at Marietta Brewing Co- Halloween

The Ghouls and costumes were out in full force last night for the Greens Show at the Marietta Brewing Company for Halloween. This was yet another good show for the Greens at this welcoming and friendly venue. Nathan had a sort of mafia type costume on; Ben was sort of a rustic rural character; not quite a cowboy; Andy had a ridiculously large AFRO. When he played some of his more energetic guitar soloes, the AFRO got moving pretty hard- I thought it might fly off. I particularly liked the Sarah Palin imitator; and especially when the guy in the Obama mask had photo op's with her that was classic. The two decrepit old people who mysteriously moved in, and danced a few songs worth, and then just as quickly left were very surreal. Lots of other interesting costumes throughout the evening. The Greens were in fine form, a different sort of mix of songs in the two hour set I was there for. Finishing up with Shakedown Street and two Jimi Hendrix covers, fit the holiday occasion; up till then it was all originals and a good mix at that.
Its on to 6Pence Pub tonight for a back to back Mid OHio Valley weekend for the Greens; something that hasn't happened for a while. I wonder if there will still be some Halloween costumes; stretching the holiday out a bit. A couple of the newer songs are working their way well into the set lists; and I could almost sense songs like "Flying Solo" are being geared up for the Thanksgiving show when Aaron Phillips will be back in town, to add the vintage saxophone parts to those gems.
