Yeah, that was a sweet show!! The Rangers a capella song blew me away again, like it did at RockyGrass.
Loved the encore of "King Tut" bluegrass-style :)
Thought his cousin did a fine job opening, too...

Agreed... that was a suh-weeet show!! Doesn't compare to their show at Hardly Strictly a few weeks ago. Being in an intimate venue like the Paramount made all the difference.

Steve was amazing... and so funny. He kept up with the Rangers, and the balance of their stage presence was pretty equal. Martin didn't steal the spotlight nor did he get lost in the background.

The Pete Wernick cameo was pretty cool, too.

Not bad for a bunch of guys who "met in rehab".  Wink
