    Wow, I am nearly overwhelmed by what went down last night. Thanks so much to tangled for all of her hard work and to the band for kicking out what may well be the very best Yarn show I've seen to date. Full of rare gems and jams including a bluegrass happy birthday! More when I get time but it went well past 3hrs of amazing playing and all my extended family/friends got big into the band......think we have a few more converts.

    Thanks to Hopped + Co for taping as something fucked up on my first tape. Got some of it but I'll need to get it complete at some point.

    So again, more later but I just wanted to toss a quick thanks thanks thanks....and thanks for the well wishes from here. LaC, jgoods, headzilla, buckheart, you were all sorely missed~

    Reckless--sounds like a real good time!! So sorry we missed it. Will look forward to hearing the show.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Back in NC now. Many, many thanks to RC and tangled. Twas a great time and worth every minute of the drive. The band was on fire.

    RC, I don't know what happened to your tape, but mine has what can only be cell phone interference all over the first set at least. I haven't listened to the whole show, so I hope the rest of it is okay. It does a sound a bit 'boomy' in the room on my tape. Haven't listened to the SBD copy yet. I'll report back when I have.

    Thanks again for a wonderful time. We were impressed by all of the natural beauty we saw as well, driving in the Hudson and Housatonic valleys and of course in the Berkshires.

    Happy Birthday again. You know I got a 40th coming up in couple of years. Hmmmm....

    I think I may be missing one toward the end. I'll have to listen through again to make sure. Epic set list to say the least. Listening to SBD right now and it's a pretty good mix. Only slightly vocal-heavy. So a good recording will be coming out of this!

    You're missing the most unlikely of tunes...Nowhere Man!

    Just one helluvashow. First time i've seen a band outlast a band member!! To be fair, Andrew did have a looong ride home.

    RC,
    Thanks for letting us be a part of your celebration! It was an amazing weekend of music and well worth every mile. Hopefully we can get some of you down this way for a show sometime.

    Real busy at work this week, so only a few observations:

    1) Absolutely thanks to RC and Tangled for planning, organizing, inviting, hosting and sharing this event with us all. Much appreciated. This was a show for the record books!

    2) Blake kind of opened with "John likes the new ones, so here's some new ones..." Right there, we knew we were in for a treat.

    3)Hopefully, the tapes picked up the "Midnight Rider" riffs they were doing before the first song. Sweet.

    4) Man, is "Tired of Everything" a great song or what?

    5) Man, is everything they play a great song, or what?

    6) Funniest moment before a birthday song..."Uh...what key we in?"

    7) A break after 5 songs (6 counting Birthday) had me worried that this was going to be a short night. Quite the opposite.

    8) Rod playing the dobro was a real treat.

    9) That acoustic mini-set 1/2 way through should be part of their normal sets from now on. Nicely done. Bobby, just randomly bring that snare drum around and tell Blake to sit down!

    10) Thanks for the 'Let's Get Dark' "One fer Tous"!

    11) One word: Misery.

    12) Encore included a nice version of "Nowhere Man". I could have listed 200 covers they might do and that wouldn't have been one of them. Nice, well-played surprise!

    13) Andrew had to book during the encore, unfortunately. Not before dancing a bit to "Lovelight" ! Wonder if he still gets a full paycheck! :-)

    14) This, IMNSHGO, (in my not so humble goddam opinion) beats the infamous 9/11 gig at the Main Pub. That's saying something.

    15) Who's next to turn 50 here, if you catch my drift??!?
  15.  
    Thanks tous~

    I'll have more when I hear the whole show (fingers crossed and props to hopped) but for now, the highlight of the night was dancing with my pretty little wife during It Took A Long Time as that songs completely describes how our relationship began. After 6 years of dating, my commitment fearing brain realized that if I let this one slip away, I'd be the biggest loser the world has known. So that summer (17 years ago) I snuck a diamond ring into a Grateful Dead show and while Jerry was singing "will you marry me, pretty Peggy O" I completely surprised her with it. It was cool to be among thousands while all alone at the same time. This 50th party found me at a time in my life when things really couldn't be more perfect. Much of that is due to good fortune but some as well to making a number of good decisions in my life.

    This one was the very best I ever made~

    I'm SO bummed I missed this....I haven't been on here much lately..... :-(

    I've got two years to go.......to 50.

    Discs are in the mail, RC. I threw in the Barto show as well, as I just finished it, too. Hopefully it gets to you this week. I may wait for posting your birthday show and see if I can do a matrix for the second set. Rod's guitar is way low in the SBD mix.

    I saw NRPS for the first time last year on the anniversary of Jerry's death. They played for over 3 hours and did Peggy-O and a Ripple encore. There weren't many dry eyes in the house by the end of Ripple.

    Can't thank you enough hopped.

    ....and as for NRPS. Dave Nelson is a national treasure...love his Peggy-O.

    Thanks for posting that hopped. loooks great.

    Yes, many thanks. This arrived just after I left for my weekend fishing trip so i just got to spin it last night. Sounds fantastic and I'm so glad you backed me up on this one hopped....you da man. Would have been a real shame not to have recorded this.

    ....although I'm quite humbled by all of the nice sentiments Blake gave me ;)

    Realy just humbled by the entire event from all who attended to all of the planning and work that my tangled put in to make it happen. Thanks again to my entire extended family of friends~

    I've corrected the set list on 'Ain't Got a Sin' to 'Ain't That a Sin'. I'll re-tag the file and re-up today so everything is correct.

    9 days 'til Yarn at The Pour House.

    ETA: I've re-upped 'Ain't That a Sin' but the derive task may take a while, so d/l the flacs and you'll get everything. If you grab the mp3s, one song will be missing until the derivation task is done.

    Alright, everything is up now. The title of the track isn't fixed in the flash player yet, but hopefully it straightens itself out.

    Thanks Hopped! Will be giving this a listen today.

    Aaaaaaarrrrgggghhhh! I noticed the files were all named yarn1010-10-22 instead of yarn2010-10-22. I went through and renamed all 111 music files one by one to avoid re-upping everything. Hopefully I got this one all sorted now and the changes will show up soon. Uploading to archive.org is easy. But make one wrong keystroke, and you have to go through hell to fix it.

    My Barto source will be up by tomorrow a.m. I will try to have Catawba Valley up by the end of the week.
