Tuesday night I braved the rainy weather and headed to Artpark to catch one of my favorite bands of all time. To see the third best musician named Neil in the world (at least in my mind), Neil Osborne perform with his bandmates 5440. The top three Neils of course are 1. Neil Young, 2. Neil Peart, 3. Neil Osborne.

The rain had ended just in time for the show to start and we got what you always get from 5440, a solid hour and a half of 5440 tunes.

The opened with Nice to Love You and didn't stop until a meet and greet with all four band members in the merchandise area. All four stayed to sign at least for a hundred or so fans after the show.

There was a pleasant addition to the line up as well, Tom Hooper, founding member of the Grapes of Wrath was on stage playing keyboards and other various intsruments as well as supplying backing vocals and some great vocals on a few accoustic tunes including a Bob Dylan cover of Walking Down The Line.

This is a little Grapes of Wrath clip of "You May Be Right":
