Looking like an unlikely candidate for blues guitarist extraodinaire, he strolled onto the stage and proceeded to take over. While not expecting a blues show in the middle of the night, the crowd took it in enthusiastic stride and was praising Seth's playing for the rest of the night. The rest of the band adapted well to the new style and Anastasio and Jakominski seemed to connect as both jammed blues-style for the end of the first...
