All-Star Saturday

"You are all against me."

The first show of 2013 featured a band that has fully realized the breadth of their vast song catalog.  GM treated fans to a ton of bust-outs that kept us on our toes like a midget at a urinal.  We can only hope that the band will continue the trend of breathing new life into old favorites- it will certainly make for some exciting setlists and playing.  It was quite gratifying to see songs like "Little Bit of Soul", "Bloodshot and Blue", and "Tell My Muse" dusted off.  The start of "Big Ol' World" had myself and others looking like this:
