Embarking on their first tour since 2019, Dopapod chose a familiar setting in Saratoga Springs’ Putnam Place<\/a> to kick things off, which they did in remarkable fashion. A mostly packed house was treated to a first set that began, and ended, with a cover of Pink Floyd’s “Echoes.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, that’s all they played for a full hour, finding room to jam and improvise without any let up. After 25-30 minutes of “Echoes,” fans looked around at each other wondering “Is this still Echoes?” and simultaneously realizing “This is all they’re going to play this set.” There were no complaints, and no one second-guessed the band’s choice here, rocking out for the full 63-minute set with teases of The Beatles and Dopapod originals mix in, the crowd reveling in the awesomeness they witnessed during setbreak on the Putnam patio. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set 2 found far more songs, nine to be exact, with a range of material from across Dopapod’s catalog. The recent debut “Velcro” kicked things off, followed by “Happy Song” off 2009’s Radar<\/em> and fan favorite “Braindead” from Redivider<\/em>, Luke Stratton’s lights silhouetting the band throughout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
