I have seen them about four to five times and their set was the best one I have seen from them. Great punky sound with hooks and very tight.

Imagine what these guys like will be when they get a couple of shows under their belt.

Now my only complaint, and it is a minor one, is that Dick’s vocals are beginning to sound like someone out of the Lou Reed school of vocals. Less singing than really chanting. Great frontman, thought he was on key but I thought there was a difference with his vocals.

By the way, the show is posted on Dime A Dozen and it sounds fantastic. Just a great show and I cannot wait for the next one.

Having said that, yes the place was ridiculously packed and if you are not in the front it can be a problem.
Onto the show. Thought this was a fantastic one. Long live Manitoba, and lets not grieve over the death of the Dictators. Honestly, I thought the backup vocals were better with Daniel on board, Dean is a monster on bass (better than Andy who is not interested in being part of this), and Ross.. well Ross is the God of Thunder. The thing I love about Ross is that he can shred with the best of them but with Manitoba, he is actually quite understated. Plays his riffs, does great leads and does not need to show off. Just a really gifted guitar player and certainly one of my favorites to watch.
