## Notes

Tonight's show featured an awful lot of fresh thinking regarding how to play the core repertoire: the band seemed to say to one another: take nothing for granted! And the Terrapin Nation lapped it up like sweet wine. Glory Glory hallelujah! I've seen the light!

Although it was frustrating as far as trying to keep an accurate setlist as the show unfolded, (snip!)

{{:wip.png?nolink}}  **Whoa!**  This section is incomplete for now, sorry! {{:wip.png?nolink}}

Fast, rockin' version of _Ripple_ to close the show.
