RTP-area local music and culture

Of course, we're talking about one of my all-time favorite bands (who
I'd never seen before) playing with all the original members, hitting
the high points of their best albums and I knew the words to every
song. Super energy, crowd totally into it, band feeding off the crowd,
incredible musicianship, all the things that make a rock show great.
Good opening band too (Detroit Cobras, who are a lot of fun.)  And we
were home by midnight.  I guess it's a sign that we're all getting
older when the show starts at 8 pm so that the punk rock band and
their fans can all get to bed early.
