Good mornin' sweet family, Southpaw, your wish (sweeping bow) is my command. Check Aug 24 on the Calendar for pix of Warren's magnificent acoustic set yesterday. I'll join the chorus of praises for last night's show. It was incredible! Gregg, Derek, Warren, Oteil, Jaimoe, Marc and Butch roared through song after song with such energy, finesse, spark, kick-ass full-tilt in your face, heart, mind and spirit great googely moogely jaw dropping hittin' their noteness that people were crying with joy - when they weren't dancing and cheering. :dance: :clapping: We spent part of the show smack in between the lawn and reserved seats and were blown away at how completely locked into the music (and musicians) the audience was. Guitar solo! Yahh!!! Applause! Applause!! Drum solo! More cheers and applause!! Oteil!! Yessss! Applause! Organ! Whooo Yah!! *Every* moment on stage was a tour de force, greeted with blissful rapture. Uhhhh, in other words, you *might* want to get your hands on a copy of this show! :doh: Also of note, the audience for this show was largely Bonnaroomers, the youngest demographic I've ever seen at an ABB show - a good thing! 🙂 Speaking of which, "Thank You!", everyone, for such a fun pre-party at the Mellow Mushroom yesterday! It was wonderful to get to meet and spend time with you ... and your children. They're soooo terrific! It was a joy to meet them! A special shout out to Sarah Everhart. Have you been having just a *teeny* bit if fun this week, Sarah? 😉 A special thank you to the folks at Alltel Pavilion too - for the poster to share on this site, for VIP Parking and Club passes for the fam', for a great sound system, beautiful grounds, groovin' lot scene, an amazing accounting team 😉 ... this cheer's for you: :mohawk: What is it about Raleigh??? Come on over next year and find out for yourself! 🙂 Take care and know that you are loved, Lana
