All I Think and All I See

"This music is mad white"
-Chick in crowd, 2/13/16

Last night GM returned to Triple Play for the first time in 3 years, almost to the date (Check out the rundown of that show here).  For this All-Star Saturday, the band brought a new original, more fresh covers, and awarded Merc with his prospect patch. The crowd brought a enthusiastic attitude and terrible dance moves. All in all, it was a magical evening. See setlist, pics and video below.
