• Camile Baudoin: guitar, slide guitar, harmony vox;
• Eric Bolivar: drums, harmony vox;
• Dave Malone: guitar, lead and harmony vox;
• Reggie Scanlan: bass;
• Mitch Stein: keyboards, Hammond B-3 organ, lead (noted “MS” above) and harmony vox;
  - with special guest -
• Mark Karan: guitar.

• Minglewood was played over a totally diffent vamp than the Dead version, sort of a basic blues shuffle? Maybe Dave took his arrangement from the 1930 recording by Noah Lewis? REB has a pretty helpful page about the history and evolution of this tune.
• Never Let Your Fire Go Out was also played in an unusual arrangement: it sounded to me as if the band started out playing Back at the Chicken Shack.
• As originally planned, both the first and second setlists included one or more tunes (“Animals medley”, Morning Dew!), presumably cut as spur of the moment choices by Dave.

Whoa! This section is incomplete for now, sorry!

Big thanks to Ting for the photo gallery!
