This was an over two-hour show, alternately exhilarating and draining, but altogether satisfying. The concert ended with an encore performance of “Eid Ma Clack Shaw,” a hilarious, self-deflating account of the creative process that details how Callahan found all the answers in life and summed them up in the most brilliant line ever concocted, only to find out later he wrote the complete gibberish of the song title. It’s about as good a summation of Callahan you’ll get. No matter how bleak and down he gets, he always has a cathartic card up his sleeve to show there’s something to smile about if you have the right perspective, or a good night’s sleep.
