Welcome to the inaugural episode of Things of Gold! Listen to it now wherever you get your podcasts!

Ryan and Megan kick off the series by diving into Snarky Puppy's late show at the Southland Ballroom in Raleigh, NC on September 15, 2015!

Setlist: Strawman, Binky, Whitecap, Thing of Gold > What About Me? Encore: Little Wing/Superstition/Star-Spangled Banner ft. Eric Gales
Bonus: 9/19/15 Shofukan -> Quarter Master

Michael’s Show Notes: Late show on Justin’s birthday. High energy from the start. Amazing stuff from him on Rhodes in Strawman. Dubby, heavy Binky. Chris sees it and raises. Maz takes his time. Lots of patience in this one. Shaun drops some Outkast on the outro. Whitecap grooves. Super funky Moog stuff on the bridge and organ antics from Shaun. Jay bops. Quirky Thing of Gold. Maz and the band get weird on the bridge. Shaun outro shenanigans and church. Bob and JT rock What About Me? early 90’s-style. The one and only Eric Gales takes over from here for very different renditions of Little Wing and Superstition from set one, plus his own version of the Star Spangled Banner. Really unbelievable stuff. The spirit descends.

The crowd turns up for Shofukan with some prodding from Shaun. Lyrical stuff from Justin on trumpet before some rhythmic jousting with Michael and JT. Nate and JT go ham on the outro. Shaun sneaks in P-Funk and Snoop, things morph into a slow, funky Quarter Master. Shaun moves to the talkbox. Then organ. Straight funk. The band takes it home with a hymn.
