All Good Things

Tuesday night was the last show for Dwayne Gretzky after a 3-month residency at The Dakota Tavern. As usual, a local band opened up for them. This time around it was Hands & Teeth, a 5-member indie pop band. They specialize in 4-part harmony songs. As an nod to cover night, half of their set were Beatles cover including a long version of I Want You/She's So Heavy. They have a good sound and catchy tunes.

For the last show, Dwayne Gretzky played all the "Greatest Hits" including Be My Baby and My Best Friend's Girl. Yet even at the tail end, they still include newer songs in the set such as Thunder Road and even a brand new tune: Just A Girl (No Doubt). There were plenty of guests including the all-girl country band Ladies of The Canyon doing Dreams (Fleetwood Mac). Lots of crowd participation including an exhortation to go wild on the last song of the set.

Unfortunately, I had to leave once again after the 1st set at 12:45 am. But the twitter-verse tells me that apparently they kept at it until 3:30 am.
