Eric Tollefson and the World’s Greatest Lovers played the free Wednesday night show last night at McMenamins here in Bend, serving up a feast of blues rock jems before heading down to Hollywood for a show at the Whiskey A Go Go on Saturday.
I’ve got some video here, but sadly it is not of the show’s defining moment, which was when a youngish man in the crowd challenged Feverishly Dancing Bespectacled Woman (if you’ve been to a McMenamins show, you know who she is) to a dance off. It was impossible to tell who won, given that the abundance of flailing limbs and gyrating mid sections prevented me from discerning any actual dance moves.
Here’s a track from Tollefson and the Lovers, tragically missing a dance off.
