Subject: THE BEST!

I love this show. It was one of the first RRE shows that got me hooked.
I can't find a better mess than this one. The jams are soooo good. Andy comes in firing on that banjo and sets the bar really high for the rest of the boys. John follows it up with a great trippy lead. When Todd takes the lead it is just amazing. He doesn’t have to hit a lot of notes but he hits all the right ones. He does a spooky lead like always and it is the best!
About the 7SM. I don’t think they were playing slipknot. They were just playing in a diminished scale similar to how slipknot sounds. RRE gets so dark and deep in this 7SM and the X factor defiantly happens. That is why I love this band!

Subject: Sounds SWEET!

This is an awesome recording. The sound is fantastic and really brings the strings to life. One of the better RRE recprdings that I have heard.

The setlist is great, and the band is always rocking in The Garden State!!! Great show.

If you like RRE, this one should go in the collection right away. Stellar!!!

Subject: Best 7SM, ever

This was night two of a fantastic three night run, and from the sublime Peggy-O to start, to the absolutely stunning 7SM in the second set, this one is a keeper.

Get it, you won't regret it.

Addendum: I am also having problems downloading set 2.

Addendum to the poster above: The band says it isn't Slipknot -- only one person in the band was a Deadhead (Skehan) and would know the tune. They tapped into the universal vibe that night, plain and simple. I felt it was Slipknot, too, but only in a passing familiarity. I've listened to it repeatedly and it isn't Slipknot.

Subject: thanks

maybe inspired by slopknot, but thats how music is... slipknot was inspired by something else. i think this is railroad earth.

Subject: setlist accuracy

The seven story mountain is not a musical entity in and of itself. The 15 minute or so exploration in to space is the instrumental "Slipknot" of GD ..Help>Slip>Franklins fame. So, for those who care about accuracy in tracking, it should read SSM>Slipknot>SSM...This in no way diminishes from the absolutely outstanding jam there within, but it is not a RRE original composition. I can't imagine they would learn that piece of music and only play it once, so a hunting I will go. What a drag, seeking long smoking jams that might be mis-tracked...somebody has got to do it..

Subject: 7SM stole the show

Amazing. I rarely download shows I have not attended, but this one is definitely an exception! Can't wait to see the boys again when they come back to Maryland in May.

Love the space the sound went to during that one!

Subject: trouble with disc 2

Is anyone else having problems with downloading this show?? Can you suggest any fixes besides the mp3 formats. Thanks, John
