Comanche
Nugget
Daria
comfort eagle
Excuse Me But I Have a Heartache (buck owens cover)
carbon monoxide
never there
The Distance

(Encore)
guitar
no phone

It was an incredibly fun but short show. Though there weren't many songs, John Mcrae had a lot of witty banter between most every songs, and they did audience sing alongs numerous times. The highlight was when he singled me out for No Phone, because I have a big beard and a cowboy hat, and compared me to men long ago, who did whatever they could to not communicate, but now we are harnesed with cell phones. To which I replied that I don't own one, because I don't. Which he then repeated to everyone. They then went into having all the men sing loudly the chorus, then have the women repeating it back. It was a great show.

here are some photos, and yes I know the dates are wrong,I should shut that feature off, because it resets whenever you take the battery out.


As you can see the captain was there also

Here are a few of Cake. The are not great, but you weren't there to do better, besides it hard to take a picture when you are rocking out.

John Mcrae collects and plays 3/4 length guitars


notice John Mcrae's tiny Marshall amp to the right of him, proof you don't Need a Marshall Stack to ROCK out.


here he is holding up his second favorite instrument. I don't know what it is, but it has a ball that hits against a cowbell looking thing and sounds like a rattle snake.
