DMB-- 7/20/05
From the road journal:
"Robert Randolph happens to be in Nashville doing some recording, so the band asked him to come down and hang out for a few tunes. His pedal steel stylings added to an already great evening. Early in the show the band for the first time played the track known as American Baby Intro, though they actually segued it into Dream Girl. This tune has the solid potential to step up and become it's own thing. We're psyched to see where it goes. Soon we'll be climbing on the busses for an overnight drive to Cinci' for a show tomorrow night. Hope to see you there.

They put on a great show last night. I totally missed the opener-- I was stuck in horrendous traffic trying to get into town.. Brian and I took our little shortcut to the amphitheatre and made it to our seats just in time. We stood in front of our seats, said Hi to the people next to us and the band walked onstage. Great timing.
It was the first show I've been to where they didn't play DDTW. It would have been nice to throw in one of the jam staples (#41, Ants, or Two Step) but we did get Jimi Thing, Warehouse and Crush. Loved the backdrop with the firedancer. Loved the light show-- it's always amazing. We were so close to the stage that the screens on the side of the stage were behind us-- we were over in Butch & Boyd land.
I'm on Mom's computer, so I'll make this short-- I'll be coming home tomorrow sometime.
Later!
