What’s awesome is by the time I get home it’s gonna be Election Day and the ads will be over!!!! The nicest thing about being in a state where your vote doesn’t matter is that the ads are at a minimum. Saw that Carolina has the most ads of any state but cali. They had 7000 ads run last Wednesday alone over just 6 tv markets. Insanity. Nothing irks me more than watching football and seeing a fucking political ad. 

[Greg from Chestertown]

I did early voting today. It’s the same feeling as doing your homework as soon as you get home from school. Oh, and wake and bake.

Ominous signs today. Drove all day in the hurricane rain then hit a 3 hour crash closure of I-79 as we were an hour from Morgantown which is our tonight destination. Just pull up at hotel ready for a nice bourbon or 5 after the multi hour delay and there’s no power anywhere in the area of the hotel. iPhone flashlight to light the room as I guzzle some michters rye. 

[Greg from Chestertown]

That sucks. I imagine the band and crew are going through the same thing trying to get to Fredrick and set up shop. Actually, these are the makings for some incredible shows. Merriweather post ‘85? 

[Ammagamalin Crew]

Just listened to that space > Fantasy last night. It was a cold stormy summer tour in 85, you're right in that the current times merit some of the dark, dank and demonstrative glidings that came out of 85

Goony Bird anyone??🤓😎

Today the storms are gone and we just ate some amazing crab cakes so things are turning around. Luckily we found out the show was changed to 6pm from the original 7pm. That would have sucked.

Thank you buddy, was just looking for that list,... 😅🤪 Good to hug your neck! Great set up, very fan friendly. Thanks to band and crew for throwing down a schorcher! Good times, good weather, good peeps, cool venue.

 

Ps: the birdsong let it grow sandwich was fucking awesome to end set 1.

[Greg from Chestertown]

That’s a set list like no other. I shoulda gone. Dammit. 

[Zuck]

Great show last night.  The band was in sync and firing on all cylinders.  The jam in Stranger was as good as it gets.  Jeff nailed the Ship of Fools, sung with soul.  Imagine was pristine.  Overall amazing.

[Ammagamalin Crew]

So glad everyone made it, what a terrific setlist and nice to hear good field reports , Greg we should all be there for the whole run,  right? tonight's going to be even better. Keep us informed and vicariously "there". Beautiful weather today,  have a blast !!!

[Greg from Chestertown]

I’m filling up my truck with gas and already dancing by the pump! I’m so excited! 

[Zuck]

They did mention last night that tonight would be special as they would be doing something which they have never done before.  Perhaps a 10/31/80 recreation?  Any other thoughts?

[2muchfun]

From my streaming perspective the jam during stranger was the highlight of many highlights.

Well said

[tombellanca]

Set one started rough via streaming with lots of sync and sound issues.  They were finally fixed by mid-set and the Bird Song/Let it Grow sandwich was fantastic (still not a fan of the drum solo in LIG, it take away too much great jam potential).

 

Second set highlights were the Help/Slip/Stranger.  Stranger seemed to have a bit extra punch.  Nice jam out of Truckin'.  

The Dew seemed like a quicker pace to probably fit it in before curfew, but the end jam soared.

 

See ya'll from the couch tonight!

On the scene sunset report: I’m just the messenger from 3 time zones away.

Morning comes

Hard to Handle

Momma Tried

China Rider

 

I’ll stop here as there’s good stuff on TCM now and you all are streaming anyway. Vegas out.

[Hardpan]

What a killer show last night. Fun Day Tripper to start, followed by a rocking Alabama >Greatest Story. Roses was a nice breather and sweetly played. Sunrise was good, the only break from the 80s theme in set 1. Bird Song >Let it Grow>Bird Song let me get lost inside for a while, and the Bird Song reprise was a welcome surprise. 
 

Set 2 came on strong, with Help>Slip> Stranger leading the charge with waves of intensity. Ship of Fools was nailed by Jeff, as Zuck said. Truckin was fun, with big bombs. Low Spark eased its way out of Truckin, slinky and sneaky sounding, and was superb. My only notes from the night say “delirious spiraling keyboard” during  Low Spark, really was enjoying what Barraco was doing. Imagine instrumental out of space was beautiful, with Jeff and Barraco leading the way, with Barraco using some kind of amazing sounding delay, full band eventually joined in and held the crowd spellbound. Season of the Witch was fun and spooky, Morning Dew was splendid as always.  Had a great time hanging out with good friends and throwing it down last night. Made it back home for Halloween scavenger hunt with the kids, everyone have fun tonight and tomorrow 🥰

[acududeman]

Terrific show tonight! 10/31/70......I'll leave the setlist to others!

Finally got to hang with some forum folks......Greg from Chestertown, BillK522, and Like Everyone......solid crew......what a gift tonight was......thanks fellas!

Much needed!!!🤠😎

[gr8fulpair]

From the opener I knew all to come would be awesome. Hard to handle, viola>cumberland, stephen, going down the road, all did it for me! The night was just exactly perfect.
