Thanks Dan!

SET ONE
Kill Devil Falls (9:25)

Tight - Rager - 


The Moma Dance (7:26)

Standard as they come, very little funk or jam really.


Sample in a Jar (6:22)

Trey a bit off key in spots, nothing too bad. Standard.


Stash (13:05)

Again, Trey a bit off key in spots, nothing terrible. Standard.


Dog Faced Boy (3:49)

Funny banter after Stash. Dude was yelling like crazy for Tela.

Like every other Dog Faced Boy you have heard.

Gumbo (5:21)

More banter. Very short.


Tube (6:16)

Standard.


Lengthwise (1:51)

Big bustout. But if you have heard one you have heard them all.


The Divided Sky (14:48)

Easily the highlight of the set. Nicely played with some definite peaks.


When The Cactus Are In Bloom (3:17)

Good placement for a new bluegrass number.


Bold as Love (6:01)

Nice! Again, great placement and very well played. Last one since 10/6/00.

SET TWO
Backwards Down the Number Line (9:50)

Awesome trills from Trey around 7:10. Really nice, little jam and back 
into the lyrics. Drifts briefly into spaciness then segues into...


Ghost (15:18)

Around the 11 minute mark this one takes off. Trey starts drilling it at 
12:30 and out comes the hose for just under one minute til 13:20 when they 
start to settle the jam back down. 15:18 segues into FEFY. Page didn't 
seem to be completely on board or ready but totally no big deal.


Fast Enough for You (8:10)

Nice. Nothing awe inspiring, just pretty well played. Long gap in between 
this and Halley's. Dude is yelling like crazy for Tela again.


Halley's Comet (6:13)

Short. Well played and well planned segue into Maze >


Maze (11:28)

Trey blows the part before "The overhead view is of me in a Maze" Page 
takes a decent 3 minute solo. Trey comes in kind of off key through alot 
of his solo and not sounding very confident.

Alaska (9:50)

Amusing lyrically and Trey destroys it!!!

Theme from the Bottom (8:26)

No peak or crescendo at all where you would expect it. Big meh.


Golgi Apparatus (4:41)

Pretty much what you would expect.


Possum (10:01)

Standard.

ENCORE
Loving Cup (7:47)

Nice way to end the show. Raged it good.

* first When The Cactus Is In Bloom (Bill Monroe)

* first Alaska

My highlights would be Divided Sky, Ghost and Alaska and the humorous 
banter.
