The encore featured Yurco out alone playing riffs from Heart’s “Crazy On You” and Led Zeppelin’s “Over the Hills and Far Away,” before the band joined him to deliver a sensational rendition of the Heart classic (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_99x5z2_8M ). The energy in the room was nothing short of electrifying, and the band could easily have walked off there and left a very satisfied crowd. But Potter and the Nocturnals are in it to win it, so they aren’t just leaving fans with a typical 90-minute show. They followed with two more of their own rockers in “Nothing But the Water” and “Medicine”, and by the time it was all over, the band had played for two hours and 15 minutes.

The band was en fuego on the “Water” jam, while “Medicine” featured Potter singing of the medicinal qualities of the music, a most fitting anthem. A mega-jam powered by electric guitar mayhem and augmented by timely psychedelic strobe lights brought the show to a smashing conclusion.  The energy level was so high that a number of ladies kept dancing to the Michael Jackson groove that came on the PA as the house lights came on.  Get your tickets early the next time the band comes to town, because the local buzz on Potter and the Nocturnals is sure to keep growing after this barnburner.
