Quinn managed to hook us up with 4 tickets, so I did end up there after all. They were very good of course. 9:30 Club was definitely completely packed and it was certainly 99% a Neil Diamond crowd. We were all feeling a little ill at ease being surrounded with such people. We heard some terribly inane conversations and of course there was the requisite knucklehead right next to us yelling "Freebird", but nevertheless we had a blast enjoying the GIAC boys, and although the crowd may not completely have known what to make of the band, they were generally speaking pretty receptive and cheered at the end of songs etc. So all in all a good time. We def had to bolt after their set though. I don't think I've ever seen 9:30 so packed.
And it's not that I didn't think Neil Diamond is bigger than Moz to the general population, but I really had no idea that a Neil Diamond cover band would attract such a following...the world is a scary place!
Anywho, Quinn told me they are playing Charlottesville sometime next month and will be at Ottobar sometime in March I believe.
