Greens show last night at 6 Pence Pub

The Greens re-united with an enthusiastic fan-base in the Parkersburg area last night at 6 Pence Pub on 7th St. in Parkersburg. It was great to see so many "old" Greens fans out enjoying the music and some dancing and some comraderie. The Greens put on yet another fantastic high energy show, totally geared towards making the audience get engrossed in the music and the enjoyment of a night of dancing and togetherness. The Greens were in fine unified form; working on all cylinders throughout the nearly 4 hours of music.
I was very glad to hear Cars and Horses as the second song (after Tuck's Riff led off the evening). Bookending the night, I was glad that Thunderwear was the closer (except for a couple of encore-type "winding down songs.") This was classic Greens responsiveness to their audience, with many requests satisfied throughout the evening; taking the musical journey in different directions and then in typical amazing Greens fashion going in a whole other direction just as quickly. Their versatility and diversity were on display this night. A goodly number of Greens fans got their weekly allotment of exercise out on the dance floor for sure. It was good to see Drissen back out on the dance floor! The Greens, being that their appearance in the Parkersburg area is limited these days (with all the bookings everywhere else!!) worked in a number of new songs later in the second set, to pique folks curiosity and leave one wanting to hear them again. The Greens played a live music radio show in Morgantown this week, and played a lot of new songs, so they would begin to have them down and recorded. Check out the upcoming Greens show schedule on their my space site; because its a dizzying array.
Beekeeper has a new sound these days; and I like the working in of a lot of vocal harmonizing on newer songs by Ben and Nate. The bar/ server staff at 6 Pence are great Greens fans; obviously enthusiastic about the music and are always sharp with a good request from the Greens song list rather than a cover request.
