Comment
Dan Miller: The tune "Sokol Auditorium" is an instant Disco Classic - often reprised over the course of the show. This gig was in a Polka Hall and if you looked over our heads you could see the Polka Hall of Fame Memorial Plaque starting in the early 20s up to present day.
My take on this gig is that the band has relaxed into the tour - still clam-tastic, but there's a pacing and "gelling" that only happens to a group after they've been out for while. If you've ever been in a band then you know what this is about. It may not be noticeable to the crowd, but the stage feels less nervous and more confident.
