Grace Potter - Twilight Hour, Volume 8 - Home Concert, Burlington, VT, 7-27-2020 to 8-3-2020

I'm making a concerted effort to post more of the 2020 home concerts that I've been sitting on for months. If you're aware of any of the previous ones from Grace Potter, you should know the deal. She played (mostly) weekly home concerts with a small band, sometimes doing covers and sometimes doing originals. I only selected the full songs from longer concerts that contained lots of talking and some snippets of songs.

This one combines two concerts. Only the first three songs are from the first concert. The performances actually date to a soundcheck she did in early March 2020, right before the global pandemic hit hard and all concerts got cancelled. The second show consists of songs with a space theme. (Apparently, she's a really big Star Trek fan.) They're all covers of famous songs, with the exception of one space-related original ("Stars").

The last song is a bonus track of sorts. She played one song with a different band for a Tom Petty tribute concert roughly around this time period. Since the album wasn't that long, I threw it on at the end. It makes the full album 48 minutes long.

Unfortunately for this album series, she's only done two more "Twilight Hour" home concerts since this show. One was a Christmas themed show in December 2020. I have that, but there are only a few usable songs. The other was a Valentine's Day themed show in February 2021. I don't have that one. If anyone else does, and could share it with me, I probably could put together a ninth album in this series.

The reason her home concerts have ended is because she's resumed doing concerts in front of audiences, though in Covid-safe ways, like playing to people in cars in drive-through movie theaters.

To promote the space-themed show, Potter took some photos of herself in a Star Trek uniform. So that's what I've used here. I took the "Twilight Hour" lettering from the promotional artwork of another one of her home concerts.
