The house was packed. It was a completely sold out show. Everyone in the venue was standing shoulder to shoulder, dancing, clapping, and stomping their feet to the music. In my case, specifically, the enamoured, enthusiastic, and inibriated fan next to me chose to stomp on my toes time and time again as she danced and shouted out to the band, “I love you! I think you might, like, be my favorite band ever. I love you Banjo.” Lead singer Dave Simonette acknowledge her and pointed out to banjo player Dave Caroll that both men and women were professing their love for him. Yes, everyone in the room was quite enraptured. Trampled by Turtles played an incredible set of music, begining with a powerful rendition of “Alone” off of their newest album “Stars and Satellites” and ending with “Wait So Long” and “Again” off of their second album “Palomino.” The crowd loved every single minute of it. Every single minute.
