I was at that show and the Richmond show the next night...the shows were great but the weather sucked ass...lol...we definitely didn't expect that opening....I so miss those awesome times..Peace :)

This was Halloween of course, and the first show of a 3 night run.

Dawn and I got in (Thanks again Pete, booster club is great, glad to be able to assist!)about 5 minutes before the band came on, the place was about 60% full. There was still a helluva line outside. The place was eventually packed! We all expected Werewolves that evening, but not for the first song...blew us away, but dissappointed others who were still in line and missed it.

The Tennesee Jed and Looks Like Rain were the truly highlights for us the first set. They flowed very nicely and the band was more than warmed up by then, and Cam had the sound purring like a mountain lion.

From the second set through the filler was incredible. This was a classic set of blistering music that had many memories and many smiles seeping out of my pores. I remember closing my eyes while spinning and looking at the floor and feeling 10 years younger and like I was there...10 years ago.....(wipe my eyes, please...lol)

All 3 nights were great classic shows that truly proves what sets DSO apart from other Dead Cover Bands....even if the band is after this goal or not....they are original in my opinion, because they represent what they do so well....for sure one of the best jam bands out there.....this is from someone who saw around 80 jamband (SCI,TOO,Phish, etc..) shows in 22 states in 2002.

Keep up the good work and have many safe travels now and in the future. ps. Hey Tiny!
