Oh yeah. Best setlist of the weekend for me.  Short show length, did not care.
 
Cobra, War Begun, two Stones covers and a stellar Dancefloors show closer is killer.  Aluminum Park and Easy Morning Reb were off the charts, great versions.  Loved I Needed it Most, especially it getting the quiet crowd respect that beautiful Jim solo deserved.

Setlist was so good, TMP2 is almost forgotten!  Hell as the opener?? Damn

War was great, really great.

Dancefloors may have been as good as Bonnaroo this past summer. Was guessing that they closed with this.   

Seems like they are having a blast.  All the covers have been fantastic.

Honestly, I am down for the noodling.

Can't believe they covered "I Could Never Take the Place" again.  The one at Iroquois seemed like a once in a lifetime thing.  One of my favorite Prince songs.

Same to all. Feel very lucky to have been there last night and at Iroquois

They played it on 9-11-12, first night of the Wiltern run, so I have seen it twice. That also was the infamous Benghazi day.

For night 2:
-It looks like they cut a song after the 21min Dondante. The guitar tech brought out a guitar and then took it back a couple songs later.
-What was Tom playing after the first part of Run Thru...what it the theme from Severance?
-I wonder if the recording is going to be incomplete due to the PA going out.

as much as i love this band, as great as they are, i still have trouble with Jim's self-indulgent, pointless, meandering noodling. Dondante was 15 minutes of greatness and 6 minutes of "get on with it, Jim!" it's become a perfect bathroom break for me.
losing the PA for a few minutes sucked, but gave us one of those once-in-a-lifetime moments with that unplugged Bermuda Highway. glad i was close enough to hear it.

Agree.  The 'noodling' (which is my classification for every Dead jam, lol) almost always finds an awesome riff they slide into, but yep it took awhile there last night.

ericm would have appreciated the 10 min PA drop and these guys not even flinching, playing straight through it and I assume ad libbing in the acoustic Bermuda Highway.  That was incredible, Jim straining to be heard, the crowd helping with the chorus.  PA kicking in just before it ended was perfection.

What other rock band tries to play through that?  Without MFing the sound crew or something too.

Haha, yes I would've totally dug that. Live rock and roll and pulling that off like the pros they are. I've seen singers/bands just lose it over things like that and not be able to handle it. Not our guys.

I said it elsewhere when I heard about this but it sounded like L'Ville got another "Under the Overpass" moment. Still one of the best and coolest live music things I've ever been present for in all my years of going to shows.
