While I am 100% certain this show was absolutely fantastic (I am a big fan of both bands/acts and was super glad we got to interview Basia last week) none of our writers went.
So, no words.
Just pretty photos.
And an NPR Stream.
If you did go-share memories NOW.
First up….Basia

I up and went to Philly on a whim on Saturday with a friend and met friends up there and saw them there. Much better than at the State Theater a few years ago.
And yes, that trapeze artist who climbed on the curtains was absolutely amazing. Nothing like throwing yourself to the ground from 50′ up and being held by nothing but some cloth you wrapped around your ankle.
Dude’s still got the most expressive eyebrows in musicdom.

“Thank you so much for being such a beautiful entertainer!”
I am not sure which member of the band she confused me with, but it was almost as good as the time two people came up to me at the Cat with a photo of Hank III and asked me to autograph it for them.
