It was cold, cold, cold, cold cold...

That's my memory of this show. I got excited about the Everybody's Got Something to Hide opener, and I was happy about getting a Jibboo and my first Mike's Song. But the whole thing was just not very good. Outdoor shows in the midwest in late September are a bad idea.

It wasn't that it was really all THAT cold...although I wasn't dressed for it, and would have frozen my ass off if not for my buddy Jason. The problem was the moisture from the crowd condensing above...and on the instruments. I think the combination of the wet and the cold made it miserable for the guys. I remember thinking that Mike and Trey sounded like they had wet strings.

So, yeah, not a great a show.

This was my 80th show. The setlist is composed of one great tune after another, and most of them are well executed. This is an above average show, and I had a really great time.
