Personal highlights and other notes: Most of the 1st set, actually. But the Playin was Top Notch 72 style. Yes, have some. Happy Birthday Ellie between sets "That poor bastard dies everytime" - Eaton, after El Paso Don't Ease! and Big River! I counted 28 beats to BIODTL, and sure enough the show was 10/28/72, so my counting skills, like the Playin, are still in top notch shape "Send that one out to Robert Hunter" - Jeff, after Attics Dark Star's notes I jotted down as they happened: good start, lulls, verses, slow purposeful Dino-led space jam, funk jam, space jam, disjointed jam, Eaton leaves, Skip jam, Eaton returns, Skip-lite jam, meltdown/feedback, Sugar Mag. JBGoode and Two Souls were the perfect ending.

Great shows this weekend in Cleveland and Detroit. The band is greater than the sum of its parts, but Eaton was the MVP of this pair of nights: Framing the songs as well as highlighting, and lunging often lol. Just great stuff. Detroit spefically had a powerful Woman Enough, a bouncy Iko, a Shining Star with a very tender, delicate ending, an electric NFA, and a Dew that Skip dropped about 9 bombs on. I'm surpised we all survived. I was lucky enough to catch the bombs on my phone. Maybe I'll get the chance to stick it up on youtube. Can't wait for next weekend's Columbus and Pittsburgh shows! Thanks to all involved!!!
