This was a private show and a smoker. Great sound in a beautiful mountaintop setting. The band played an acoustic three song set at sunset up top with 360 degree views of the surrounding mountains. I got video of that I will be posting soon. This was my 47th Yarn show and I now have over 10,000 miles on the odometer to see them.

Well, I am so glad that you made it up the mountain Dale. What a great time we had. This recording is pretty dam amazing, glad I was able to bring my whole family to this show. My 4 year old has been running around singing Fire on the Mountain all day. My wife played a dead version of the song for him and he said " That ain't Blake!" Love it. Check it out folks.
And what a funky MOO!!! The band was playing to a lot of familiar faces and while some bands would probably think to themselves, "you guys again", you can tell this was really special to them. Bobby has new ride cymbal that has great, almost glassy sound. It has a really nice wash that gives a different effect to his crashes. I think he was pretty proud of it too.
