Comment:
The Supers is actually a four-piece standard rock band. For this acoustic performance, just one guitarist and the bassist played. It was cool to see them out of their power-pop element.

Strengths/Weaknesses/Next Step:
The bassist was very funny between songs, where he plugged their album and talked about upcoming "full band" shows. Then he joked about how the stand-up MADE him a full band and that he didn't need the other guys. Bonus cheese points for spinning the bass around on its post.

Strengths/Weaknesses/Next Step:
Hearing only half the band play puts more emphasis on the vocals and makes you realize what amazing singers these guys are. There was a good amount of back-up "oohs" and harmonies.
