COMMENT: I've been spectacularly unsuccessful at finding out anything about who was playing with either Van or Shana tonight. Weird!

## Notes

First show of the year for Van? Nope, that was 9/25 at Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre in CO. 2nd Show was at Oxbow RiverStage in Napa on 9/28. This is third! Looks like the sets are pretty similar, but with some variation: I'm happy with what we got in Berkeley, though swapping _Caravan_ or _Vanlose Stairway_ from last night in for any of the three opening tunes would have been nice.
