Comment:
The Supers is actually a four-piece standard rock band. For this acoustic performance, just one guitarist and the bassist played. It was cool to see them out of their power-pop element.

Strengths/Weaknesses/Next Step:
The bassist was very funny between songs, where he plugged their album and talked about upcoming "full band" shows. Then he joked about how the stand-up MADE him a full band and that he didn't need the other guys. Bonus cheese points for spinning the bass around on its post.

Hearing only half the band play puts more emphasis on the vocals and makes you realize what amazing singers these guys are. There was a good amount of back-up "oohs" and harmonies.
