Rochester was a pretty nice venue. The scene wasn't much but I didn't really look for one and was probably in the wrong place. It was cold anyway. Some beggar outside the venue was playing this polka song over and over again on his accordian, cheese fans kept requesting Mountain Girls as they walked by.

Cedar was a fun opener but then they played it again in Albany 2 nights later. Then Rhum N Zouc, yea fiddle. Walls of Time was more honky tonky than usual, I liked it a lot. Water, Missin' Me, Lonesome Fiddle... liking the variety so far. At one of these Fall 2k3 shows Kyle screws up missin me, I'm pretty sure it's this one. They overplayed Looking Glass this tour, but I guess it was worth it in hindsight since these fall 2004 Looking Glasses that have been coming out have some pretty nice jams to them already, so the practice paid off.

Now that I am reviewing this I realize this was a really good show. Set 2 was awesome. Texas opener, and that Blue Bossa jam was really really crazy. Blue Bossa also had that awesome mando effect Kang would use a few times in fall 2003 and throughout 2004, sounds like a trumpet, nice. I think Billy ran a few more laps around the stage than usual during the Joker, although I've only seen one joker. And the Black Clouds was a-typical, in that it has a fiddle jam and was shorter. Lots of fiddle this show! Smile!

Screw doing a song by song review, it was all really good. I went to a lot of this fall tour, although not as many as that lucky bastard/awesome taper Jason, and this one and albany were my favorites.

It was my first.....and i must say it was awesome. I met Jason(taper) b4 the show. Nice guy and a great taper. I was the guy with Ian..... thanks alot for taping it so i can get it!

This is one of the best shows of the tour so far (if not THE best), and has excellent sound quality. There were only two tapers there, and they feel this is the better source, so you might wanna grab this one! Small spot of distortion in Howard due to PA.
