I don't really recall their set, because I was kind of drunk, but I do vividly remember the part where Mark took over the drums from The Chet without breaking the pattern.

I am a recent fan of the group and heard about all of the previous stage fright issues of Chan's after we had purchased tickets. I was pleasantly surprised to see a woman who seemed very self confident. The entire performance she looked the audience straight on as a mega spotlight followed her all over the stage. The only time she seemed unsure of herself were the few times she apologized for no apparent reason.

The sound was heavenly but GOD I hate that venue! Standing in the front of the 21 and up bar area on the main floor, the sound of people drunkenly conversating all around drowned out the gorgeous voice of Marshall and was intensely frustrating. This venue is NOT great for a calm show as I have experienced this cacophony at other shows at this location. I get the impression that people buy concert tickets just to get wasted with their friends and have no interest whatsoever in the music. Its a shame that people have no regard for the people around them and can be so rude to the performers by shouting over their art form.
