First off, I wanna say Soulive is really awesome, so check it out. Everday- an awesome way to open, teased a little #36 at the end of the song (but not the beginning) I swear, I heard Dave TEASE BLUE WATER!!!! and im not the only one, some people on the lawn (who threw tortillas out tonight and also back in 2000) thought they heard the same thing! Granny - pretty standard but awesome version, seemed to flow well coming after everyday. WTWE - standard YoiNK - standard, but i mean, its YoiNK so it ruled. #41 - pretty great rendition, its not bela/tones version, but still pretty sweet jam by Roi throughout. IDI - ummm.....yeah. Busted Stuff - cool little jam outro, extended a bit Fool to Think - very exciting and awesome for an everyday song, I actually enjoyed it a whole damn lot Bartender - this is where theshow started to really pick up, bartender was its usual epic self, dave was totally losing it on stage with emotion...just beautiful. STJL - awesome awesome awesome!!!!!! no way to explain how badly I've missed this song, it was great and the intro was jammed a little longer than i've seen before...great. crush - stefan had an extended bass intro, boyd tore it up, there was some funky new stuff going on between boyd and stefan (boyd walked all the over there, he walked all over the place tonight) it was definately a highlight. R&R - pretty standard, cant complain. WWYS - good funky power jam. Pig - Really awesome, the whole crowd was lovin it, it seemed to last longer than normal ( i cant explain why tho) and it was just sweet as all hell. WAYG - standard, but you can tell theyve been playing it a whole lot, it seemed really cohesive and together tonight What You Are - great new intro and outro, really powerful song, best lights of the night, lots of emotion. Wynona - great dave solo acoustic cover Before LIOG, dave came up and sang "how can i turn away?" from CRY FREEDOM and teased us to all hell before (ironically) turning away and facing to carter to start into ... LIOG - absolute top highlight of the night and there are about a billion reasons why. From the start is was uptempo and crazy, the jam started off in its usual manner, but really started to kick after boyd and then roi's solos when boyd walked over to stefan, and dave walked over to stefan as well, and the 3 of them, about 3 feet away frmo each other, went nuckin futs!!!! absolutely brilliant, then, boyd, who seemed to be running the song like a QB tonight, headed over to Butch and slowly passed the song over to him. If you could see Butch, you could tell he was in complete and total awe of what was going on and really took a while to start his own solo. but once he did, it was unbelievably beautiful...just absolutely the most graceful thing ever... the song eventually ended after AT LEAST 15 minutes, but possibly more than 20, I couldnt tell i was just soo into it. it was a crazy night, a couple crazy-interesting teases, and a slew of just knock-me-out songs...
