July 9, 2006: Saratoga Gaming & Raceway---Saratoga Springs, NY:
It was great to return to this venue, as we’ve always had a great time, and today would prove no different. The place was packed! In fact, people were bringing in chairs from outside, just so there’d be enough seating. As usual, we plugged Jagermeister throughout the gig. Ryan did a great job with sound, and the bartenders did a great job keeping people (including FPB) refreshed. And, FPB cranked out the Verona-style. It was good to see some of our friends from the Albany, NY-area: Kim, Matt, Karleen, Linda, and Jerry. Our friends from the Baldwinsville, NY-area made the long trip, too. And of course, our merchandisers, Bob & Jeano made the drive, too. We’re so appreciative of everyone that showed up. Here’s the set lists from today:
