“Yes all 4 were at the 40 Watt - Mike & Peter got up & joined on various songs (Bill joined on Perfect Circle) & near the end all 4 including Michael got on stage to be thanked by the band. And again at the end of the show all 4 were onstage to again thank the band members.
For the record:
Peter joined on guitar on ‘Perfect Circle’, ‘So. Central Rain (I’m Sorry)’, ‘Letter Never Sent’ & ‘(Don’t Go Back To) Rockville’, Mike on backing vocals on ‘Pretty Persuasion’, ‘So. Central Rain (I’m Sorry)’, ‘Letter Never Sent’, ‘Second Guessing’, ‘(Don’t Go Back To) Rockville’ & ‘These Days’ & Bill on keyboards on ‘Perfect Circle’. Michael didn’t join on any songs.”
I missed this Michael Shannon and Jason Narducy show at 40 Watt Club on Thursday night.
However…
I did drive to Athens last night to see Pylon Reenactment Society play their album release show at Hendershot’s.
Pylon Reenactment Society played their new debut album, which I love dearly, in its entirety, and then played five Pylon songs. (“Driving School”, “Crazy”, “Feast on My Heart”, “Cool”, and “M Train.)”
I am so, so glad that I got to see Pylon Reenactment Society in a small Athens dive. I saw Pylon a few times back in their day, but this was iconic in its own right.
It’s all good. Thanks for the edit/credit, appreciate that!
EDIT: I’ve cut together most of my clips from the night into this seven minute video. Includes snippets from “Radio Free Europe,” “Perfect Circle,” “Pretty Persuasion,” “So. Central Rain,” “Crazy” and “Letter Never Sent.”
