Stone Gossard and Brad at Highline Ballroom

Tonight I saw Brad at Highline Ballroom. As you know, Brad is the band that Stone Gossard, of Pearl Jam fame, has been playing with in his non-PJ time since the 90s. I have to admit that I had not listened to Brad's music before getting the ticket, but I am devout to Stone, one of the best guitar players I have ever heard, so I went, and I was pleasantly surprised.

Singer, Shawn Smith danced around and talked with the crowd between songs, pausing a few times throughout the set to give props to Stoney on his solos! The band played mostly original songs with a few covers, including Stone singing and playing solo on Roll on Columbia by Woody Guthrie. The show was great. It REALLY was. Luckily Brad will be playing a set Wednesday night at Webster Hall as part of the Woody Guthrie Benefit show for HDSA.

I took a short video of Stone singing Roll on Columbia, which I've posted below with some pics and the setlist.
EDIT: I added a second vid. Sorry they're so short. I'm still figuring out how to record them!
