Wake Up Lucid/Rainbow Jackson/Dorothy at Bootleg HiFi

Wake Up Lucid. They put that guitar through a workout.  And then on more than a few occasions the drummer explodes into a violent tantrum.  Their music will make you lucid quickly upon waking up from a deep slumber.  Put their music on and you'll be getting ready for the day in record time, speeding along with their sound.



Rainbow Jackson.  I couldn't help but think that this is a band that Daryl Dixon of the Walking Dead probably fronted before the zombies took over the world -- well, okay, maybe not the pre-zombie Daryl, but the S5 Daryl.  A band too cool to define and one willing to bang it up a little on stage.



Dorothy.  This was my third time seeing this Sunset Strip-style goddess.  She stripped down in this set, going acoustic. Going acoustic lets the emotions ring.  I really loved "After Midnight."  The "Nothing Good Comes After Midnight" chorus just dripped with reflection, perhaps even a touch of regret.

Sunset Strip goddess.  There was great collection of liquids up on stage though not all included alcohol.  There was one coffee cup.

There is that gentle soul.  She was careful not to destroy the stage.  Being acoustic, she had a stool that she was sitting on.  She got tired of sitting and decided to move it off stage.  Sure, she flipped it over, but in a rather careful manner.  And at the end, she carefully put down the microphone, instead of just dropping it with a thump.

Comment of the set:  It's starting to look like a kitchen up here.
