Better off Ted

I've seen Ted Leo a few times, but no matter how short a time between shows it always seem too long. I first caught him back at Bumpers in oldentimes (a venue he actually remembered), at Barrymores and at Babylon. Continuing hs local tradition of playing venues that begin with a B - well, sort of - he came to Zaphod Beeblebrox to play to a packed house.

Ted sings!



Chris Wilson rocks the traps.



More Ted!



Fisheye action! You can make out Marty Violence Key and James Canty ... sort of.



More Chris!



Ted goes down!



More James! Zaphod's was really too packed for me to manouevre into a good spot to get a photo.



Ditto for Canty.



Rhythm section action!



 Ted rocks the semi-hollow.



Feedback action!



More Marty and James!



Singalong action!



And a bit of encore solo action.



The band is taking a temporary break, then it's off to the West Coast, plus a few dates in the U.S. south.
