Todd Snider Rocks the Pour House Last Night!!!


Todd Snider last night at The Pour house in Raleigh. Man the crowd roared for this guy! A fabulous show that started with Marshall Chapman opening. Todd played all of his best songs along with a few from his just-released cd called "The Devil You Know" He told some really cool stories including the background behind "If Tomorrow Never Comes" a song about a guy who wrote the song "If Tomorrow Never Comes" and was the same guy who ripped-off his famous "Beer Run" song. ...a long and funny story...After hearing the story it really makes the song come alive on the new cd. Todd was "on" last night. I have seen him a few times in various settings, the most recent in Greensboro opening for John Prine where I was standing in front of the mike stand all night. This show as far better as he looked great, sounded really good, and threw those lyrics out like no one except Todd can. If you haven't seen him do a show you have really missed out, so get out there soon and see him. Here is a link to a site that has some extra pictures taken by Jim McKelvey http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=637060 from last night. I am such a Todd fan that I subscribe to his mail list and us rabid fans are very active at supplying setlists, tour dates, pictures, and cool stories. Thanks to Jim for the great pictures...I was down front with my small Canon camera and I really didn't do all that great with my photos! A great place - that Pour House. Great selections of Brew and the price is right. No smokin' ... Shhh signs everywhere, and really nice people. Right on Raleigh. 'Double Wide Blues, who who who who who...thanks Todd you rock.
