I got my ticket for this show as a present from my parents and was totally psyched by the time show day rolled around. I went to some other shows in the month but those were more spur of the moment. I had a lot of time to build this show up in my head.
We got there and started drinking very early. Not the best plan. Especially on the beach in the middle of July. I got a ticket for open container which kind of put a bummer on my whole day. In general drinking at shows is not a good idea if you want to enjoy the music. Between constantly getting beer and going to the bathroom you miss a lot of the good stuff.
I remember Gumbo being great and totally new to me. I thought and still think that it's a great beach/summer song. Bowie with the full Jessica riffs was fantastic. And of course Letter was a great bustout but I was bummed they didn't play Alumni along with it. Sleeping Monkey is a great encore and we left all smiles. We had a great time though because we decided that night that we would go to Sugarbush which was a great idea....
