Galactic was at the 9:30 Club again with Cyril Neville of the Neville Brothers and Corey Henry from the Rebirth Brass Band. Teri and I arrived about 20 minutes late. Being Friday I have a late afternoon meeting with the client in which Robie and I mostly finished a growler of Flying Dog limited release Irish Red. It was a full crowd when we did arrived. They had a backdrop with the words "Ya Ka May". It was a good show with some good grooves and solos. I recognize less and less songs from them these days. They played straight through with no break. There was a bass solo before Stanton did his thing on drums. Their guests stayed on the stage for most of the show then left for the final jams before all coming out at the end. I like how the band is playing these days, similar to their original style, compared to the harder hip-hop type stuff they were doing a few years ago. We had to walk a few blocks in the drizzle to find a cab but it wasn't too bad. It was a fun night.
