FGC live on New Year's Eve '08: Redstone Room, Davenport, IA

 

[NEWS] January 3, 2010 - Happy New Year!

FGC rang in 2010 at the Redstone Room in Davenport, IA by treating a sold-out crowd to the band's first full length acoustic set and first collaboration with a horn section. The acoustic set, which kicked off the evening and saw the band staged on the dance floor around a baby grand piano, featured debut covers "Two of Us" (Beatles), and "One More Day" (Wood Brothers). The band also debuted reworked "acoustic" versions of FGC staples "Ready Fire Aim," "One Eye Dreaming," and "The Charmer."

After a rare performance of "As Abe Was Walking," the second set saw the band welcome a horn section featuring Nathan Kamsler (Chinese Fingertrap, Fat Fest) and Jerry Spiering (MWC) to the stage for covers of Ray Charles' "Shake a Tail Feather," and the Beatles' "Got to Get You into My Life." The set closed with a horn-enhanced version of FGC's "A Misdemeanor's Worth."

After balloons and a midnight Auld Lang Syne that led into "Byron's Got the Time," the band welcomed the horns back to the stage for a set that included Phish's "Julius," MMW's "Wiggly's Way," and a horn-enhanced version of FGC's "The All The Everything." After closing the set with a run through "Tutear," "Trying to Live Up," and "Falling Off the Fence," the horn section came back to encore with Paul Simon's "Late in the Evening." FGC then closed the night as a four piece with "Another Before I Go."
