Im assuming the cuts were due to an especially long dondante?

I'm sure there were no complaints from Mr. Manonthemoon  about Two Halves getting dropped.  :wink:

Dylan covering "The Weight" with Jeff and Jim. Why couldn't they have done it in Sartoga with Garth when I was there?  :cry:

I'd like to put the blame on the random idiot who yelled "Judas!" during a quiet point in Dylan's set. I'm sure he LOVES that.

this tour/dylan makes no sense. dylan plays the same set every night then busts out the weight in virginia beach... pretty wild

Thanks for posting the video CC!  :beer:

This is my favorite collab so far on this tour. Dylan did surprisingly well covering this.

It was funny as one Wilco fan and I were saying how they had to cover this song at some point this tour and of course after I leave they pull it out, oh well great show anyway.

The show was so awesome, really enjoyed everything more than the night before.  The staff was so much easier to deal with.  I think the bands gave it their all even though it was a very small crowd of 4500 or so people. 

Bingham really impressed me more than the previous night.  Based on the setlists on the boards it was the same, but for some reason I really loved it last night and thought there were at least 2 songs that weren't played previously. 

MMJ was just lights out.  Lowdown and Dondante were mindblowingly good and I really love the back end riffs on I'm Amazed so that was really cool.  Carl kept on jamming right infront of us when we he came towards the crowd for the Sax or guitar solos which was awesome in itself.  The crowd was really into it even if it was a smaller crowd and all of the dylan fans and wilco fans that were near us we're blown away. 

Wilco was very solid on this night IMO.  Sunken Treasure, Art Of Almost, Impossible Germany, Box Full Of Letters, Cinnamon Girl were just awesome.  Nels is really talented and being on the rail you could really see the man work.  I knew he was good, but to me he is the very best part of Wilco.  Also when the boys came out to do CG they were really amped up so you could tell it was going to be good.  I am probably definately staying for Wilco on Sunday as they really impressed me this night.

We lucked out and got another setlist to go with the one the previous night so I was really excited to see Two Halves got the axe, that might of been the only thing that could of brought me down  :grin:.  We left early and didn't stay for Dylan as he underwhelmed us the previous night.  On the way out the wife had been looking for another MMJ shirt and I noticed earlier on when getting my poster that they had a new blue one with a moon on it so she said she might get that.  We went over to the merch area and as luck was happen Carl was in line with a friend of his, odd right, so we got to meet him for the first time and told him we liked the set from tonight and he gave me a OBH postcard which will now go with the set list.  So that was awesome and would of never happened if we had stayed for Dylan so I think we got the better of that deal.

It was great meeting you Parker and great seeing you again Scotty.  I'm sure we'll see you again at other shows down the line and like I mentioned before if you like metal we'll be around for Mastodon at the Norva in August.  Cheers. :beer:

It was really great meeting you and Scotty as well. I thought the band was in really great spirits, Jim's thumbs up were just making me laugh.  He even had a little banter with a fan asking him why they call him Yim Yames.  You nailed the highlights for me.  I really would have like to heard Evil Urges and I saw them warming up the flying V at one point, but alas no appearance.

Wilco was on point and their last run from Art of Almost to CG was nasty (She's a Jar is such a ridiculously great song).
Don't you ever turn it off

capt. scotty

Yeah, I had a blast. That was about as good of a set as I couldve expected for how short it was. I wouldve liked to have heard Evil Urges too, its one of my favorites on that album and I dont think Ive heard it since T5. I wouldve preferred we got EU instead of SST, but at least they cut out Two Halves. The band and Jim especially did seem to be in good spirits despite  a lacking/empty crowd for their early set. I think he knew basically everyone in the pit at that point was there mainly for them.

I enjoyed the Dylan set for what it was, but I also felt pretty spent as his set went on, 5 hours standing in the pit aint easy, and left I think the song before they busted out The Weight, so a little pissed at myself for that. Not like I was expecting Bob Dylan Live 1966, but I also wasnt expecting Bob Dylan plays Smooth Jazz 2013. It honestly took me awhile to realize when he was playing Hard Rains a Gonna Fall and Simple Twist of Fate, they just felt, off, which was another reason I didnt feel bad leaving early. Still glad I got to see him once.

Although I only caught the very tailend of his set, Ive been listening to quite a bit of Ryan Bingham since the show. I like all his albums, but I actually think his newest one is the best since his debut Mescalito. Great voice.

Good hanging out with you again Brett and meeting you Parker! To bad there arent more shows coming here in the near future, although theres a few Ill probably be hitting up in September - Robert Randolph & Family Band (free), Allman Bros & Grace Potter, Delta Spirit (free)
