A hard hitting version of Lou Reed's, "Sweet Jane" was next with a very nice call and answer featuring bassist Johnny Pisano and guitarist Matt Hogan along with a snappy but short drum solo by John Weber. A still raucous crowd who were dancing in the aisles all night were still very much raring to go when Nile hit his last tune, Dylan's, "Blowin' In The Wind."
A quick thank you and good night was followed by a one minute pause leading up to the encore of, "One Guitar" and "You Gotta Be a Buddha (In A Place Like This)."
The 17 song set (including encores) was approximately an hour and forty-five minutes of high energy, raucous, fun filled pure rock 'n' roll with more highlights then one can mention. Suzanne Stahl who traveled from Basking Ridge felt the same, "Loved it! I loved his spin on the old classics and he's very entertaining; we were up off our seats all night!" Laura and Brendan Wolf echoed those sentiments as they drove down from Asbury, NJ to see the show,"I wasn't sure what to expect, this was my first time seeing him but he was great; was a good show," said Brendan. Laura was more happy with the cover material, "I loved all the Bob Dylan, he's fantastic!"
Overall, the show was well worth the price of admission and the Hopewell Theater is a great refurbished, intimate venue and perfect for bands like Nile.
That's it for this week! Please continue to support live and original music and until next week....ROCK ON!
