08/26/10 Someone Still Loves You Borris Yeltsin at Forrest Rose Park

This was a free outdoor show at Forrest Rose park beside Mojo's in Columbia, MO. It was a nice night for a show, but the temporary outdoor setting resulted in an interesting show. First, since it was an outdoor show we got a shortened set without an encore. Second, there were technical difficulties like the original subwoofers didn't work and I think the replacements did not give as much bass to the live mix than i would have liked, and a piece of equipment powered down for a minute at the beginning of the set resulting is a significant drop in sound level. However SSLYBY ripped through a fast set with minimal crowd interaction and managed to play a 16 song set in an hours time, not bad. They did mix in quite a few songs off the new album including let it sway and All Hail Dracula (which I enjoy purely for the fact that it's a vampire song). The best banter of the night was when they talked about their new album and then told people that they could go by the merch table now and steal the album since they are their own merch people and no one was watching the table while they were on stage. They then proceeded to have a quick discussion of whether they would go over and steal they album if they had the chance. I let you listen to the show to find out the results of the discussion. I have to say you don't often have such moral/ethical discussion from the stage, and it gave me a true laugh for the night. They played a solid version of Modern Mystery and Darn Right, so the rest was really just cake for me. If you like SSLYBY, then you should really enjoy this set. I will say the vocals on the recording are a little less clear than I like, part of the problem with temporary outdoor show recording, but over all it is a nice recording that captured the moment well.
