It goes without saying it just wasn't The Disco Biscuits without Barber but all the guest guitarists came out and held it down. Both Indobox guitarists did very well this weekend, especially Mike Carter.



The set started off with simple yet great choices using two songs they hardly play in one nice segment. Just being able to catch Commercial Amen > Liquid Handcuffs was a treat. Caterpillar > Confrontation > Cyclone > Confrontation segment which was definitely the highlight of the night for me though. This was part of the 2nd set for the Boston show which was shut down before they could finish the show. Caterpillar peak was botched and was missing Barbers signature riff but it was still decent. The > Confrontation ending had some wonderful layering/delay effect work by Mike Carter than REALLY added well to the ending. Sammy on guitar for two amazing bust-outs was not only a treat but played exceptionally well. Trooper McCue had a nice little jam in it and Barfly was an all around great way to end the set with some beautiful Blues guitar by Sammy.



Set II started off with a bang, MEMPHIS > Buddha was amazing. Buddha ending was a shredfest but it wasn't Barber after all so no complaints. After a lackluster but fun Boom Shanker the show started to take off again with Tom Hamilton absolutely killing the song choices. As a member of Electron he knew the material well and played his best as always. My ONLY complaint was Quad D, it completely ruined the flow of the show in my opinion.



Home Again encore was decent, you could barely tell there were 3 guitarists on stage because they were all shredding their hearts out so it kind of blended in.



Overall I want to thank The Disco Biscuits for doing what they do best and that's making the best of a situation and playing their best to accommodate their fans. I also want to wish Jon a speedy recovery, it's just not the same without you!
