Started with a real grab bag of instrumentals and old songs, celebrated the start of the postseason. A salute to baseball’s postseason went into some Dylan and Dylan covers, which led to a big Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music set, in honor of his pair of shows in town earlier this week.
Thom Yorke’s new album got a sampling amid a past solo track and some Radiohead. After some old timey music, folk and country, closed out with some Big Star.
