Bnaked, the show you are talking about was the Saturday show last year in Charlotte. Warren missed the show for whatever reason. So ... the band was forced to plan B which was to call upon Jimmy Herring of Widsperead Panic (who as we all know filled in the last of the 2000 tour after Dickey was ousted.) Jimmy is an excellent player and he and Derek have a natural telepathy between them which in the past has led to some fantastic improvs. This show IMO was not one of them.
It has been my understanding that the modus operendi for the ABB especially for the instramentals is that the intros and endings are set or at least planned out, there are various cues and signature licks throughout the song to frame it and move it along. However, the in between parts are left up to the individual soloist.
