Review (by Dave Engleman):
Little Miss was not on stage set list. Chris mentioned this on stage and joked around with the crowd, saying if it’s not on the set list, they can’t play it (but of course they did)

Spin Doctors 
Brooklyn Bowl
Opening Band – Gideon King & City Blog
Around 9:15 or so, this was played on the house speakers before the Spins took the stage
Boombox (new Spins song)
? (song / artist I didn’t recognize)
Shadrack – Beastie Boys (nice!!)
(realized later – the Spins new album is on Capitol Records, same as Paul’s Boutique. I’ll bet Shadrack was a nod to that history)
SPINS SET:

* = new song from new album
“Jamming” = wow, they really jammed out this song in a different way than I’ve heard in recent years.
Yo Mama > jamming > Still A Gorilla was like a proper full segue. I’ve heard the Spins jam a lot, but where they went last night at the end of Yo Mama threw me for a loop. I thought I heard hints of Gorilla and sure enough, they segued right into that song.
SUMMARY:
the new album is great! I can be a critical fan, so I’m not just saying that to be positive. Upcoming tour with Blues Traveler and Gin Blossoms. Whenever Traveler & Spins are on the same bill, guest sit in’s amongst the bands and extra jamming is bound to happen. It’s gonna be a great year to reconnect with the Spin Doctors, check out their new album and see them in concert
