Maxwell's is a tight little venue and the place was packed. This was perhaps the most intimate show I've seen since Ice Cream Truck.

Set I: Reddish Moon, Even Rats, Airplane/Primitive, Suffocation Keep, 1/4 plug > The Soft Machine, Paper Birds, Children of December
Notes: * Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey opened for The Slip and The Slip opened for The Benevento/Russo Duo. After seeing about a dozen or so Slip shows this was by far the biggest venue I have seen them in. It was also the first show with actual seats (we weren't allowed to be in the pit) :( The sound was amazing, a grand scale of layers of huge speakers hanging from the ceiling. Even Brad admitted that they are not used to playing in such huge venues. This allowed Andrew's drums to boom off into the audience and Brad's voice to travel across the big room. In COD, Brad had no large speakers to jump off of so instead scaled across the stage's monitors with a cat's agility and balance. [ Joe Budzelek <joebudzjoeATaol.com> - Wed Sep 27 16:17:58 EDT 2006 ]
