(There's one more set scheduled in the bar, with the promise of Phil sitting in, but we head home instead. Must be getting old!)

• Danny Eisenberg: keyboards;
• Ross James: guitar, lead and harmony vox;
• Alex Koford: drums (sets 1 & 3), & guitar, @ acoustic guitar, lead & harmony vox;
• Scott Law: guitar, lead and harmony vox;
• Danny Luehring: drums (set 2);
• Phil Lesh: bass, lead and harmony vox;
• Craig MacArthur: harmony vox (set 2);
• Mike Pascale: bass (set 2);

Whether it was me (low energy?) or the crowd (more talkative than usual) or the band (not especially energized), tonight's show just didn't really do it for me the way things usually do. I found myself listening to parts and then picking at them (like “why are the vocals so whiny” etc). Guess I'll just call it an off night and leave it at that.
