[e_wind]

Really interested to hear about this night and see a set list. Have fun everyone! If they aren't strict, recording would be awesome - but don't get yourselves kicked out if you're trying.

A great time for all who is going...Have a lot of fun for all of us who couldn't make it. Enjoy the area too; Woodstock and the catskills has a special place in my heart and wish I could be there tonight!

Oh yeah and tell Levon and Yim I said hello if you get some face time!  ;)

from what I remember..not in order..Golden, I'm Amazed, Gideon, The Way That He Sings, What A Wonderful Man, Smokin From Shootin, Anytime, OBH, Nashville to Kentucky...Wonderful....Jim sang It Makes No Difference with Levon's band which was worth the price of the ticket alone..the entire band joined for The Weight.  I was standing 3 ft from Jim during Levon's set (he remembered me from meeting him the night before and thanked me for coming!)..him and Patrick could not of been having a better time...just rocking out to every song.  MMJ set was killer, we were up behind the stage rocking out.  It was an amazing night.  Levon's set ended with It Makes No Difference, King Harvest, Chest Fever and The Weight.  Donald Fagan was there, Danny Louis from Gov't Mule...and a few other guests.  Just awesome!

oh christine .. sorry i didn't text you. i left my charger at home so i was out of pocket.

ah also .. nobody's told woodynymph's story. so she has been in woodstock the past few days & she's never had a ticket for this show. she met up with us at the pizza spot and we talked her into driving down into levon's and just say she thought she could come tailgate with us and pretend she didn't know that it wasn't allowed. WELL .. she did that and b/c traffic was backed up the driveway she had to sit by her car until the show finished loading in. she comes over to talk to us in line and they tell her she needs to wait in her car until she can leave ... and then i notice they kept talking and i'm like ... they are going to sell her a ticket! and that's exactly what happened .. pretty fucking magical !!

still up here and what a gorgeous day. i wish you could see the view from our back porch.

Pretty much the only way to sum up last night is EPIC. Easily the best concert experience of my life. Levon's house is a magical place. I felt lucky just being there.

MMJ's set was just perfect. I can't believe how much I'm Amazed has grown on me. I was never the biggest fan on the song but the last 2 times I have seen them play it they just absolutely kill it. It might have been my highlight from last night. Nashville to Kentucky was pure bliss and got me so excited for T5. They brought out Levon's horn section for OBH which brought the house down. Jim had some great stage banter about Levon's house, he told a great story about the last time they were there they watched a bear go head 1st into a dumpster for some ham. I was hoping they were going to play The Bear.

Levon's set was amazing. So many classic The Band tunes. Ophelia, Look Out Cleveland, Long Black Veil, It Makes No Difference, King Harvest, Chest Fever and The Weight.

They played some great covers, Sam Cooke's Ain't it Good News and Shakedown Street were 2 of my highlights.

I am not a Steely Dan fan but I was in awe of Donald Fagan. The man can sing and still rocks the keys. Larry Campbell is the fucking man, and Theresa Williams has an amazing voice.

I am def going to go to another Ramble sooner then later!

So great to meet so many of you last night both at the pizza place and at the show. So many great discussions about music. I am horrible with remembering names and I didn't get everybody's forum name but I know I am going to run into all of you at T5(I was the one in the Phillies hat with a moustache). Last night got me even more fired up for T5 then I already was.

It was a magical night!  We were literally looking down @ the band from the loft behind them.  Such a cool view!  Had an awesome time rockin out w/ brooke, woodnymph, bold & his friend greg & some cool kids who came in from colorado just for he ramble!

Awesome story #3 (bold & greg rockin out by/with jim, woodnymph gettin in):  After the mmj set, a woman who we were chatted w/ while waitin to get in came up into the loft, grab-hugged brooke's arm & was like, " you girls are doing a great job rocking out up here!  I was watching you & you know all the words..."  she also said she loved mmj  :)

Carl reached up & shook a couple of our hands after their set.  And i got a selist!

The music was fantastic!  Standouts for me were, oh, all of them.  Haha.  Carl played sax on Nashville To Ky.  sexy. Loved the version of shakedown street w/ donald fagan on keys & lead vocals.  Boogied down to that  :D.

Such a great vibe in that place.  So good to meet so many of you & look forward to seeing you again his week!

Excellent birthday, eric & headhunter - thanks guys.  We will def chat @ mcgees!

[br00ke]
