Sadly, the band already considers the Syracuse show to be their worst 
performance of the tour, so far.  I loved it, anyway.  Sure, the sound system was 
muddy (and that's being charitable), and Adam said the harmonies weren't going 
quite where they intended to go, but this is a terrific band, and it shows even 
on an off night.  Evie Sands is the ace-in-the-hole, as her vocals added a 
delectable soul to everything the band did, and her harmonies with bassist Teresa 
Cowles were a treat that transcended any technical glitch.  They were so cool 
visually, as well, with Adam cemter-stage flanked by the left-handed Evie on 
his right and the right-handed Teresa on his left.  
     My decade-long appreciation of Adam's work is already a matter of public 
record, but I really love the Chaos Band.  Off night or not, their 
performance deepened my appreciation for Adam's new album, and I hope they come to 
Syracuse again someday.  ("An off night."  Jeez,  I wish some bands' ON nights were 
as compelling as The Chaos Band's off nights....)
