After celebrating their 25th anniversary in 2015, moe. continues to dominate with some top notch performances. Over the weekend, the Buffalo based jam band spent two nights at the Rams Head Live in Baltimore, MD, with support on the bill from Pigeons Playing Ping Pong. Together, the two bands brought the heat, with moe. digging into their classic tunes for the run.
The first night featured a sit-in from guitarist Cris Jacobs on “Happy Hour Hero,” amid classics like “Timmy Tucker,” “Buster” and so many more. The second night included a new cover debuted, as the band dove into “Way Down In The Hole” by Tom Waits. Waits’ song was used as the theme music for The Wire, the hit HBO drama that was set in Baltimore. moe.’s cover came in the middle of a powerful second set of night two, between “Bring You Down” and “Hi & Lo.” “Plane Crash” brought the whole run to a energetic conclusion.
