DaysBetween Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 A few days late so heres the short short version. Do EVERYTHING in your power, people, to get to the Ledges. It's New Years Christmas Thanksgiving Your Birthday Fourth of July Woodstock and Columbus Day all rolled into one. Personal highlights: Getting rained on during end of the first night's first set. The jams and angry '88 Space on 8/29. Winning Set List Lotto. Don't Let Go with Keller. Cornmeal's multi-faceted dead-influenced jam that had a bonafide Fire riff that went into Benny & the Jets. Yeah you heard right. Chilling in the lake with the New Mastersounds laying it down smooth. Boombox pumping the crowd up perfectly before DSO took the stage. Those light shows during shows 1 and 3 and Boombox. Hanging with the 151 crew for waaaaaay too many hours; favorite quote (to the instrumental bluegrass playing two camps over) "This song is called 'Throw down your mother'" Most beautiful Eyes I've ever heard live with the piano and B3 dancing around each other like butterflies. Playing BBall despite the excessive heat. The crowd reacting to "leap from LEDGES high and wild" during Foolish Heart better this time than the last time (GFest '06) The sweetest Brokedown imaginable. So fragile. Perfect ending. Can't wait to do it again next year. I'm hoping for an earlier start, say July or at least two weeks before Labor Day. No matter what though, it is THEE place to be.

windorabug Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 great reviews! It sounded like Eyes -> Stronger Than Dirt (King Solomon Pt I) to my ears. I'll change the setlist on archive if anyone can confirm..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP HelpSlip Posted September 10, 2008 Forum MVP Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 I'll confirm that it was definitely not King Solomon's out of Eyes. although that would've been incredible, this one was played in supreme '74 style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
