    Good music, great venue (Commodore Ballroom), packed house, groovy
    people,
    nice party.
    Why do I feel slightly disappointed?
    Call me square but playing the album (sans vocals) over the PA system
    doesn't quite do it for me.
    I can find that at the disco or a house party.
    Those deep grooves are great but I want to see that trumpet player
    or a percussionist.
    The retro campy video was amusing.
    The principles appeared (in silhouette) to be DJ-ing.
    The singers appeared live (in silhouette) which is cool.
    I guess economic constraints make it difficult to tour with a band
    and I presume it is an anti ego statement to keep the performers in the
    dark.
    For my money it's just disengaging.
    St. Germaine appear in December.
    Great album, I wonder if I should check it out "live".
