Alejandro Escovedo and the Sensitive Boys 2011-05-04 Count Basie Theatre, Red Bank, NJ USA Audience Front Row Center Probably 2/3 sold out show at the 1500-seat Basie. Jesse Malin opened for Alejandro Escovedo. The Malin show is posted here: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=356052&viewcomm=4719737#comm4719737 This Was the first time I had seen Escovedo in electric mode. At the live show he could not match the raw intensity of Jesse Malin, the opening act. The show is fine as a standalone. The band plays with the dynamics more than Malin did, but during the quieter parts there was grumbling around me that he needed to "kick it up a notch." Also towards the end of the show it descends into a bit of a "basement jam", with Malin's keyboardist joining on "Like a Hurricaine" and a visibly stoned Malin and band joining for an unusual "Miss You", and "Excuse Me While I Break My Own Heart", with the Sensitive Boys covering The Band's "It Makes No Difference". During the encores I was leaning on the stage and the vocals got a little saturated, but plenty listenable. Still a fun gig.
