## Notes

Jazz Mafia started the party off tonight with a solid 45 min set. It was very hard staying still in my seat, but I didn't really have room for anything but dancing in my head. I swiped the tune list for the 20 Breaks medley from the SoundCloud page for that tune -- Did they do all 20? Hard to tell...

Hermeto's set was mildly frustrating: none of the tunes were introduced, and from my vantage point at the front of L2, I couldn't see what he was doing most of the time. Probably should have ditched my seat for a spot on the front GA section of the floor.

Props to folks on DIME who contributed the setlist titles above!
