early report by Jim
A great evening was had by all. Met some Rusties for
the soundcheck, but we were booted out about 4:00. A couple of unnamed
Rusties tried hiding out in the San-o-Let. Didn't work...
Met some great folks at the RustFest at the Morrison Inn. Those coming
to the shows should try to get to the prefest. We chatted with quite a
few non-RustListers, from Texas, Nebraka and California.
No setlist changes. Words was awesome.
The first ten rows were standing and dancing to the whole set.
Towards the end there were sheets of rain coming down. After the encore
of Cowgirl, the lights came on and people were leaving quickly.
Lights go back down and Neil comes out and says
"It's a miracle!" and the band
comes back out into the rain and gets soaked while they launch into
Mellow My Mind.
On the way out of the venue, I didn't hear one person disappointed with
the song selection. Wednesday night we get to do it again!!!!

GREAT SHOW!! There's nothing like seeing Neil
rock in a driving rain, having to dance to keep warm! :)
The start of the show was pretty cool before the rain. The wind was
at Neil's back, hair blown down in his face alot. Highlights:
- Motorcycle Mama -- Nice opener. Again the women did great with
their vocal parts, they were tight all night long.
- Powderfinger -- This one REALLY got the house rocking. People
were getting-down all over the place.
- I Believe In You -- Rain started coming about this point, but
this song overcame the distraction. What a beautiful song.
- Razor Love -- Subtle almost to a fault, this song stood out
amongst the gentler songs. Nice piano work by Spooner on this one.
- World On A String -- Rocked out to this one, but they seemed to
cut it a bit short. However that made for more time for TTN.
- Words -- Pretty good. Spear-in-the-back dance on this one for
about 5 straight minutes between verses.
- TTN -- Very funky, the whole band played tight, and Duck's bass
work was second to none.
- Cowgirl -- By this time, the rain was coming down really hard.
Wind was blowing around, we were totally soaked, as was everyone. But the
crowd was really going for this one. The stage was flooded with water, and
I'm sure that the band was absolutely soaked -- but they kept going.
- Mellow My Mind -- Neil practically dragged the band back out,
it appeared. About 1000 people in the audience were left (out of 10,000)
so we all rushed up front. I was able to see from eye level, about 30 feet
off. The girls were really enjoying the, uh, moisture. Duck looked pretty
miserable, had a towel wrapped around his neck for the whole song. Neil
just had fun, joking about "It's a
miracle!" -- probably referring to the fact that people
were still there. :)
"How ya doin'?"s -- 3, in different
variations (e.g., "How ya doin out
there?", etc.)
The weather definitely added to the show. Since they were taping the show,
they had spots going on the crowd alot, and the lights hitting the rain
made for some stunning visuals to go with a great night of music.
Good show!
