The Medicine That Everybody Wants

I'd rather spend money on concert tickets than a trip to the doctor's office any day.  Live music may be the ultimate elixir.  This past Saturday, my wife and I made the drive into DC to catch the final show of Grace Potter & the Nocturnals' winter tour.  It had been awhile since our last concert outing, we were itching to see a show, and the party that the Nocturnals were throwing hit the spot completely.

GPN set out to finish the tour off in style and hopefully melt a few faces in the process.  Their version of southern rock can range from scorching guitar driven grooves to tender organ work and we got the whole spectrum.  The crowd was on board from the moment that the band took the stage and Grace warned us "You're in for it."  I can't think of anything insightful to add.  You'll just have to check this band out for yourself whenever you have the chance.  They are well worth the price of admission and when they're done with you, you'll feel rejuvenated and ready to take on whatever the world throws at you.

Here's an overexposed phone picture from our spot above the soundboard:

And here's Grace Potter and the Nocturnals closing out their set with "Medicine" (best video and sound quality I can find from the show...we managed to bring a camera with a dead battery):
