Sunday night Jan and I travelled to San Antonio and met up with our good friends Dusty and Lori.  We went to see the David Crowder Band play at Floore's Country Store in Helotes.  I heard somewhere that the sold-out show was only the 2nd ever sell-out at Floore's, with the other one being Willie Nelson.  I'm not sure I believe this, but I do know that it was packed to the brim with 3500+ people there. 

The show was incredible as expected.  It was so nice to have them headlining instead of being the opening band.  We saw them open up for 3rd Day last year and was disappointed they only played for 45 minutes.  It was hard enduring two hours of 3rd Day after that too (no offense to the many 3rd Day fans out there.)  But, this show was a good hour and a half of Crowder goodies to feast on.  Every time I see them in concert, I am usually amazed at how much they had improved since that last time I'd seen them.  I think they've reached the level where I can't tell that they need to improve at all so that's credit to them. 

One of the highlights of the night has to be when they played "...neverending..." with Dave sporting a Guitar Hero guitar.  It wasn't just for looks though.  He actually played real chords with it that went right along with the song!  Incredible!  I think it was B Whack that took the time to program it and unlock it for live sound.  I'm not sure how he did it but my hat's off to him. 

The new cd Remedy is really good and I highly recommend it to everyone.  Check it out here! or buy it at iTunes, Best Buy, or wherever music is sold.  I already have a couple of Crowder favorites on this album - "For the Glory of It All" and "Never Let Go."  And, Ted Nugent (no lie) plays on one of the songs.  That's more random than Abra Moore playing on All I Can Say.
