Holy cow! A 2-set show with Gotta Get mean, How could you want him, 100 years and Opta? Hells yes. I can't wait to hear a boot of this one.

Sadly, I was not there, but happily, a number of tapers were. I'd expect to see both shows circulating in due time.

In related news, the band has been kind enough to set aside a spot on the guest list for a taper for each show, first come first serve, starting earlier this year. It's met with pretty good success - I would say that over 50% of the shows had a taper on the guestlist, and several more had tapers show up by themselves. All four this month had multiple tapers, and in October we had the Tucson, Austin, Naperville, Charlotte, Greensboro and Myrtle Beach covered, as well as tapers for the KC and VA shows that were cancelled... so that's promising.

If you're planning on going to Biloxi or Tallahassee, drop me a line... I'm helping coordinate and we need tapers for those two dates!

Thanks for posting! Kudos to the taper for a fine sounding recording given the space/crowd, etc. Love the banter too :-)

John, do you remember that soundboard recording you gave me like, God, I don't know.... 8 years ago? It had "Blackbird" on it? Just thought I'd let you know that I never lost it. Still got it! That IS an accomplishment for a special needs, super-genius. And please, please, please read that semi-long post that I left on the other thread. I think the thread was called, "How Are They So Good", or something like that. I put a small amount of thought into and it's amusing for those that don't take too much too seriously.... Talk to you later... P.S.- This is Gregg, in case you didn't realize and just thought some a-hole was attempting to be overly cryptic. Well, I gotta' get back to packin'. That's right! I'm moving and I can't wait!!!

Okay. I just figured out how to put my real name out there. One small step for most, but a GIANT leap for me because I cannot figure out how to get a picture up. Can anyone lend some assistance perhaps? I've been having this problem on Twitter as well. I feel overly anonymous! Thanks ahead of time guys!
