## Notes

I thought tonight's show was quite good. Lizz was in a happy (and talkative) mood, so we probably got more than the usual share of upbeat tunes (like _Sweet Feeling_, which had the crowd roaring with joy). Ting ended up with a copy of the Th setlist from the SBD that showed tonight's setlist differed by a few songs from what was planned for the first night (and other shows?). 

I think my favorite parts of the show came from the few tunes where Ben Zwerin contributed harmony vocals. Lizz has a truly amazing voice, but adding that deep harmony part made things at least ten times better: like sprinkling balsamic vinegar on a BLT -- once you try it, the regular BLT just ain't good enough!

## Photos

Big thanks to Ting for the photo gallery!
