   Just got back from this 2 hour show.  Really incredible performance and   
   setlist.  Heavily featured material from 1972-1975 with a few outliers.   
      
   They are based in San Jose and I had intended to see them right when Covid   
   first shut everything down, so I missed that because it didn't happen, then   
   they played in September of last year which I missed because I wasn't paying   
   attention.   
      
   Don't know any of their names but a huge band.   
      
   Keyboardist/vocalist is the leader.   
   Drums, bass, guitar.   
   Percussionist.   
   6 piece horn/woodwind section not including NMB.   
   3 background vocalists.   
      
   Interesting to compare them to Dweezil's outfit, biggest difference is that   
   Napoleon is a much better front man than Dweezil or anyone DZ has ever had as   
   a vocalist that I've seen.  If you've seen NMB on the Roxy videos, he's still   
   got all the moves and    
   he must be 75 at least.   
      
   A really, really, excellent show.
