This song originally debuted on at the 'Beatles' themed show at Steam Bell Brewery. The entire band seemed to be in the groove now as a tremendous вЂњJohn JamвЂќ transitioned effortlessly into the Beatles 'Tomorrow Never Knows'.

Instead of a river hobo though, this classic JGB cover is about the apostle and revelations author John the Apostle.

With zero hesitation we jumped right into more вЂњJohnвЂќ. The boys are starting to make this one their own now, and they definitely showed that the вЂњthird time's a charm.вЂќ Moving into the third spot was 'Catfish John'.

The audience got the full round of introductions after the opening salvo of songs, Adam Drudge on guitar, Ed Bray on bass Noel Burton on drums and vocals, Jeff Rothman on drums and vocals, Steve Barnard on keyboards and vocals and Dave Oakley вЂњsinging his heart out and playing the guitar.вЂќ Twenty minutes into the set it was so hot that Dave offered a first time introduction of Adam on the guitar mid-song after a particularly fiery solo and it's almost a half an hour into the set we get a chance to rest slightly. Nevertheless the duo of Grateful Dead favorites embodied the past 7 years of Suggesting Rhythm and finished with a cacophonous outro into a quick Playing in the Band reprise to close the set.ДЄfter a quick pause for the cause, the band was back on stage noodling and without much warning, jumped into 'Dancing in the Streets'.Д¬learly the guys didn't cool off much in the break because they came out super hot with a mean jam that eventually pulled off a stellar reversal of Stevestock 2 and transitioned into 'Franklin's Tower' The transition melded the two songs seamlessly, displaying the precision the band has elevated to over the years.Дave bit the word some in the 'Lady with a FanвЂ™ beginning, but with Oakley, you can't tell if it was real or part of his act to deliver a realistic show. Along with 'Terrapin Station' the band has now played the two songs a combined 50+ times, getting exceptionally well at both. One more short tuning session brought us to 'Playing in the Band,' a classic cover that Suggesting has performed since very early on. Not only did he crush it but he also shouted out the growing вЂњgrowвЂќ community when the lyrics asked '.how does your garden grow?' The 1943 Rufus Thomas number was perfect for Oakley's wheelhouse. The second of two debuts, 'Walking the Dog' was now on stage and ready for the spotlight. The peppy jams in this classic are exactly Suggesting is known for and they played it out beautifully. The build up to the transition was superb as it climbed effortlessly and dropped into the steady beat of 'Wang Dang Doodle'. I believe only the second time played since debuting in February 2020 at the Camel. The solos and jam here really stood out as it seemed the band had been holding back in anticipation of this knock out break out. 'Rhapsody in Red' from the 'Cats Out Under the Stars' album took that spotlight and didn't disappoint.

The jams were growing as the band warmed up and the crowd was getting more and more loose as we ventured into the 3rd spot of the set-list where SR threw in the first song debut of the night.

There was a slight tuning pause before commencing into the loving Smokey Robinson cover of 'Second That Emotion' in the вЂsecond spotвЂ™. The set opened by quickly acknowledging the bands continual aging with 'Touch of Grey'. And celebrate we most certainly did! The Canal Club played host to SRвЂ™s 5th birthday party and were more than gracious hosts for number seven. Lucky for us, that also meant that February 2022 would give rise to a 7th year celebration. 19, 2022 at The Canal Club, RVAДЄ wise old man once said '.it ain't official until it's Facebook official.' Well Suggesting Rhythm became official Feb.
