well i knew the set list, and the place was crawling with country-clubbers, but...it was a great goddamn show. Carry On- rocked out Southern Man- rocked out harder....Neil busts nut on guitar Pre-Road Downs- an unexpectedly great version of this song...Stephen really wailed on guitar, found some big, crazy beautiful notes that filled up the arena and made you think of the old days.... 49 Reasons- Hell yeah! love this song. I was so happy when Stills started playing it solo & w/CSN a couple years ago, but it didn't sound exactly right....until Neil came to town. Speaking of WAILING, why didn't anybody comment earlier on how Neil's playing really takes this one to the next level? a highlight for me. Faith in Me- this, as well as several other new songs, really came off much better live than on the album. the crowd actually paid attention to all the new songs Dream For Him- quite lame compared to the studio version. for some reason they slowed it down, took Stills off guitar and put him on bass. Neil got off some sweet bluesy riffs but overall this lacked the great feel of the original Almost Cut My Hair- S&Y were in the midst of delivering a major ass-kicking to the crowd when Croz FORGOT THE LAST VERSE and let the song just sort of crash.....at first i couldn't tell if it was a sloppy false ending or what.....somebody must have told him the words because they started up again and finished the song....still fun but not what it could have been Cinnamon Girl- kind of sounded like shit. only 2 guitars, Steve and Neil, which sounded cool, but the rhythm section tried to get too fancy on this one. they need a stomping lesson from the Horse Long Time Gone- i dislike Croz's emphasis on political and psuedo-political tunes on this tour, but i must say this sounded great. Neil got his rocks off in a big way. FWIW- the "restored" version, with Neil's lead guitar part. killer. i had forgotten what it sounded like w/ Neil, so used to hearing it as a CSN or Stills solo tune Down by the River- sweet but way too short. the shortest version i've ever heard live electric in fact. it usuallly gets a third solo, only 2 last night. seemed like Neil cut off Stills as he tried to get a 3rd instrumental passage going Love the One You're With- so-so, not really appropriate for the end of this show i thought. Neil looked goofy singing his doo-doo-doo's RITFW- rocked pretty heavy but again too short. Stillsy put on the slide to play the flying V at the end btw, I enjoyed Neil busting Nash about his plug for the BS box set. Neil said "that was a commercial, an advertisement!" like it was a dirty word. Nash nodded. "A shameless plug," he confessed. "Shit," said Neil. rollin to the bottom
