Editor's note: If Palicki wasn't our favorite before, she most certainly is now.
So last night at Austin City Limits, I got to participate in the viewing of one of my personal favorite bands, Blues Traveler. One thing is for sure: they did not give us the "Run-Around" this time. (Come on! That was good!)
[Editor's note: That was a good joke! But to minimize confusion, they did, actually, play "Run-Around." I think it was the second song of the set. Which was nice, cause then I could go do something else. Anyway. Adrianne! Please continue.]
Can I just say, Who the hell taught John Popper to play the harmonica? That man is a mad genius. Between the harmonica, the guttural vocals, and the drinking and smoking that ensued on stage, I am surprised that man has not had a heart attack. Starting the night off with "I Want You To Want Me," and ending it with "Hook," no fan in the audience could have been disappointed. Traveler also played soon-to-be-hits from their new album. The entire band is amazing. Watching these guys perform brought about a nostalgia that can only be reminiscent of my days in junior high, when "Run-Around" was numero uno on the charts, and Saved By The Bell was still on TV. Oh, Zach Morris… I digress… Point is, these guys still have it-- or, shall I say, never lost it.
