Excellent show set against the backdrop of Chicago's first 
World Series since 1959. The recording really showcases how
the guys in the band are trying to watch the game at the same
time as playing--the tension on the TV screen at the bar really 
brought out great playing especially on Wreck of the New Orleans 
and Grandpa's Groove. One great moment was when Jay Stanek changed 
the words to the traditional song Cuckoo to be "I bet you $10, 
the White Sox win this game." Because it's a SBD, you can't hear 
the crowds reaction, but it got really loud. Of course the Sox 
pulled it out in the 14th inning shortly after the band finished
its set.
