I have to leave (running late) but Sisyphus should be up on my youtube in a matter of minutes (8:00pm).

nice. it's great to see this from another show. Seems much tighter than the burlington one. I like brad's completely different guitar solo.

Sweet vid!!! Thanks Clinton!

I am torn though. I really like the new arrangement but I also miss the old one. Also a little weird seeing Nathan up there w/o a guitar... I love the funk of the new arrangement though.

[lumpy]

Loving your video posts Cleantone!

The old arrangement is fantastic - and I can imagine that this one will grow immensely by the end of this tour, and high sierra this summer.

Thanks for sharing all these great recent sites and sounds!

Very happy four/twenty everyone! The show in GB was nothing short of fabulous...my first SMMD show since High Sierra 06 I believe...save the Wedding Band show at Murphy's. The band is hot and sounding better than ever!

Apparently Nathan whacked his head (?) just before the encore and was taking a minute, so Brad started up Life in Disguise (unplanned?) and it was great...wonderful to hear that live.

Other highlights for me...When a Woman, Poor Boy, Sissyfuss, and of course the "Chloe Rap" :^)

Wishing I was in NYC tonight...Matt

Looks like an amazing show I missed, but I still had a great time this weekend so I'm not kicking myself as hard as I could. What's this "Chloe Rap" you speak of? Did Chloe get up and have some fun on stage? Chloe...you back to civilization yet? Please tell.

[bear]

Nathan was talking about a "Hope Chest" during the intro to last one ever and asked if anyone knew the definition or any history to what a hope chest was. Chloe got on stage and told the crowd about the history and meaning of hope chests. well done chloe...

[chloe]

i'll only be back to civilization for tonight, courtesy of the degree i want someday.... oh academia.... but yeah.... bear put it perfectly.... of course i left out the part about how i only know this because at 28 my grandmother has given up on me and has started giving me the glasses and dishes and towels and such that she had been saving to pass down if i ever gave her hope of me having a hope chest.... she's 92 and considers 28 very old to still be unwed, let alone as single as i am, and is one of those ladies who started putting stuff aside as soon as each of her grandaughters were born..... total trip.... wasn't sure it had happened until other people brought it up, but..... there's the long story at medium length....
