    Lebanon, NH, Nov 2

    Photos have been posted for the show, but it seems sad to not have anything over here in the review section.

    The Lebanon Opera House was nice simple venue of about 800 seats, most of which were filled. A good crowd where just about everyone was on their feet, at least during the fast songs (except the people around me, but I'd given them fair warning that I wouldn't be sitting).

    I'm loving the opening with Love Me Tonight, followed by Process Man. I also consider the inclusion of River Driver as fabulous. We were treated with Ferryland Sealer - which, like Process Man, is amazing heard live (I pretend I don't know what the lyrics are about).

    As mentioned elsewhere (see Photos for link to video), Kris did a solo performance of Sarah Harmer's Don't Get Your Back Up.

    Fun & games --

    Certain parties brought "Doyle for King" signs to further Alan's campaign.

    In the moment of complete silence after Alan asked "Are you ready for an audience participation song?" a girl in the center gleefully shouted "It's a hockey song!" to her friends. And clapped hands to face in embarrassment as she realizes that everyone just heard her.

    Alan started random conversation about 1st concerts. They all step to the mike and confess. Yes, even Bob spoke -- but to say "I'd better not say."

    At that point where it's Sean's turn and we often hear MariMac but sometimes Captain Wedderburn or General Taylor, the lights were low and they start by saying "This one is for the lovely ladies..." Okay, looking like slow song, so we all sit down. Sean actually paused to motion us back up before finishing intro to Rover. Perhaps we know the routine too well? Mention bouncies first and there's no doubt what's next.

    Sean twittered that it was perhaps the best show of the two weeks. Hopefully because they felt good about their performance, not just because it was time to head home to the family.
