Matt and Dan Collide

The set format for this one was a little different than usual as Dan and I switched back and forth instead of doing two separate sets. We also collaborated on a few tunes as well.

The selection of my stuff included some early versions of Matt Ventresca classics such as Just, Flying the Hindenburg, Wonderful and others.
It also featured some great tracks that simply didn't make the cut for Delusions, i.e. My Marise, Won't Let Go and who could forget Number 5 (my ode to Donovan McNabb).

Dan and I also busted out some pretty stellar covers of Otherside by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Wish You Were Here by Floyd and Landslide by Fleetwood Mac was our encore.
I also covered Symbolistic White Walls by Matthew Good, and Dan helped me out on piano for a stirring verson of 7th Birthday by who else but the Lowest of the Low.

OTHER NOTES:

This was a night I will cherish for the rest of my life for sure. We jammed the back room at the Free Times (probably breaking numerous fire code regulations and spilling out into the restaurant).

The turn out was great, the crowd was loud and I'd like to think the music was pretty good too.

Special thanks to Keith Dell'Aquilla who debuted the now world famous Forgotten One and for anyone who sang along with the songs we were playing.

To anyone who showed up, thanks for the memories, they will last a lifetime.

And if you're wondering, the colliding happening between Dan and I was simply a platonic, music thing. DON'T GET ANY IDEAS.
