I had a reminder on FB about a posting I did after seeing the first KC shows in Albany in 2014 - and I realized that it's been ten years since that lineup debuted.
I knew they would be doing older material that they hadn't done in decades, but to open with a one two punch like Larks 1 and Pictures of a City was a wonderful moment.
I've seen them multiple times since then and while I missed the energy and forward thinking nature of the earlier lineups I was very happy to hear a lot of songs that I never thought I'd hear played live by the band.
The only ones I can think of that would have been nice to hear that didn't make the cut (that I know of) are The Night Watch and Cat Food - it would have been interesting to hear them tackle those.
If there will be no more live KC - and at this point it doesn't seem like there will but you never know - I'm grateful for the shows I saw and the live recordings that have been released.
