Modern Day Fitzgerald performed at Mid Coast Takeover in Austin, Texas March 2018. The band and I decided to perform with No Set List. Meaning we do not know what song we are going to be playing from beginning to end. I personally had some guitar issues during the set, I forgot some of my lyrics during some songs, and I was out of pitched on some songs. I also used feedback after some songs to figure out what the crowd was feeling and deciding what song to play next. I'll admit, this set was not perfect. Far from it. This was real, raw, unfiltered rock. I was vibing of my band mates, and the crowd. That night was between us and only us. The band, the crowd and I are loving every second of it.
