Monami at the Gateway (with playlist)

Last night I got to watch my son's band, The Session Guys, play a gig at the Gateway Center in Newport and it reminded me of Monami's gig at the same location.  His band was playing upstairs, and ours was downstairs....

This was June of 2012 (really hard to believe it was just a year ago!)  I remember the gig being very strange, because we were TOTALLY the center of attention, and people were sitting down enjoying the music.  It freaked me out a little bit, and I think the others too, because we all made some weird little mistakes at first (I remember specifically having a problem on Rhiannon).  It took us quite a while to get in the zone.  The were a lot of people in the audience, and it took me a long time to go around and talk to everyone when we had a break.  During our final set (bands always have to be done by 10:00pm there) I had these killer stomach cramps.  I'm not really sure how I kept playing!  It's the only time I've experienced that.

I haven't posted a Monami setlist yet, so here's a typical setlist:
