First lemme qualify myself as a conniseur, saw100+ GD's and dozens of DSO's. The sound in that venue does leave something to be desired, BUT the setlist and the tightness and outpouring of good positive energy from the band makes this one of the best DSO shows I ever saw. (Bear in mind I have a lot of favorites) I took a new friend of mine who had toured with the GD the same years I did-86-92. He was blown away. I thought this show was so good i leaned against the stage in front of John and danced for both sets despite having 2 crushed discs which left me with no feeling in my feet or hands.This was one of those shows were you leave shaking your head knowing you just witnessed music history.

This is the first DSO I've seen where I was just a little bit let down. Now, it might be because I wasn't, ahem, googly-eyed for this one. It might be because it was the tour opener.

It might be the crappy sound that night at the Bottle & Cork, a tricky half-outdoor, half-indoor venue with a love-hate relationship to good concert audio.

Regardless, it was a solid show. The crowd was a little restless, but again, I think that might have been because Kadlecik's guitar and Rob Baracco's KILLER keyboards were low in the house mix. At times when he would normally have been pushing the song Over the Top and Into the Weird, Kadlecik seemed pretty far back in the audio.

That said, a nice "Truckin' > Let It Grow" showed up in this relatively non-descript '74 show. I'm always up for "Saturday Night" and the "Mr. Charlie" filler (one of my all-time favorites) capped a solid set and an enjoyable night.

I don't know what the sound is like, since the whole show is not up here, but I would look elsewhere first, especially for a better setlist.
