Looked like a fun weekend over at Alpine. Of course expectations are always sky high for that place so of course when a weekend of perfectly fine shows with some nice tour gems happen its not good enough. Oh well. I'm sure those shows were well enjoyed! Only true mistake I think Dave made was playing Funny How Time Slips away again in the E1, only because he literally did that last time at Alpine. But there's a song in the set that I'm sure triggered it in his brain. Pretty crazy that the show featured 19 repeats but was just as full (actually a little more) of songs never played there before/not in 5 years or more/only for the 2nd or 3rd time. I dunno, but I peer into another thread and it looks as if the entirety of fandom is supposed to resign as a result of these shows

OTHER NOTABLES:
*Maybe only interesting to me, but this is the first time Funny How Time Slips Away and Stolen Away on 55th & 3rd have been played in the same show. In addition to being the "sequel to Little Thing", its always been clear Funny How Time Slips Away an influence on Stolen Away as its almost Dave's version of that same song.
*Grace Is Gone, So Damn Lucky & Lie In Our Graves played D&T at Farm Aid 2019 which was at Alpine
