Well, my year and a half wait is finally over. I was so pumped for this show (third row seats help!) Lets go through the highlights and one lowlight. SO RIGHT: Great to hear this for the first time in 2002. I know that this was a great opener to a very special Chicago Weekend. YOU NEVER KNOW: amazing. only a few people (including me) knew this song and it rocks! Carter had a really long intro with this song. LOWLIGHT #1: I DID IT. at least they got this over with quickly. OSW had the instrumental intro. BEF-->BT was great. dave broke a couple strings during bartender. WHAT YOU ARE: Called this. Wow. great live. it was even better because right at the end, dave was singing new lyrics which were awesome. Dave and the boys were on fire tonight! CRUSH!!!!!!!!!! I was so happy to hear this. i thought they were going to play Watchtower with Stefan's intro, but they went into Crush instead. LOWLIGHT #2: Mostly new songs (including 4 everyday) up to this point, not a lot of oldies. LIOG: one of the best ive witnessed. boyd went absolutely nuts. a nice 17 minute liog that was one of the highlights of the night. WHERE ARE YOU GOING? first time hearing full band and i love it. HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT!: TWO STEP. un-f**kin-believable. easily the best two step i have ever heard. when i thought they were going to end it, they just kept on going. how the hell carter can move his arms that quickly and still blow bubbles is beyond me. lots of solos from all the members, resulting in a 13 minute jam. AIFHTSA was nice to hear for the encore. then they went into i guess an improv. i thought it was going to be Diggin a Ditch b/c dave kept saying Gravedigger (i also thought it was a new song). one great lyric from it was "Dig my grave shallow, so I can feel the rain." sweet. THen a very nice PNP-->Rapunzel to cap off an amazing evening. Tomorrow night will be hard to beat! I called 10 of the 18 songs they played tonight before they played them. this was the best show i have witnessed of the 4 ive been to and i just hope that tomorrow will be up to par with this one. This tour is all Leroi and Boyd. They are taking a lot more solos and it is unbelievable the energy that Dave and the boys are putting together each night. Rock on Boys!!!!!
