Fan & band concensus seems to be that the livestream of Watershed’s show at the 92.9 Big Room Bar was a pretty great event in all respects: set-list, personnel, playin’, singin’, guitar-slingin’; all the important things. And seeing as how 92.9 has seen fit to preserve said show for posterity on their YouTube Channel we thought we’d present a replay here, exactly a week after the live show, as this week’s Pencil Storm Saturday Night Special, because - after all - Watershed has ALWAYS been a Saturday Night rock & roll band.
(editor’s note; It was great of 92.9 to provide a breakdown of the set-list at the bottom of the frame so it’s easier to find individual tunes to pick out & play, but some titles were missed. Following is a full listing of the songs, with the missing tunes in italics;)
