Some interesting new songs with Robert Hunter lyrics. Chatty crowd for a good part of the show. Supersonic Vision and Who Stole the Show stand out (for me). Down the Road wasn't the best version I've heard, but I got total goosebumps, even listening back to the recording, at the lines "I heard a sweet guitar lick, an old familiar sound. I heard a laugh I recognized come rolling from the earth. Saw it rise into the skies like lightning giving birth. It sounded like Garcia, but I couldn't see the face. Just a bead and glasses and a smile in an empty space". But then I always get goosebumps when I hear that line. Crystal's vocals were really nice. I got the impression Matthews was not "on" with his guitar last night. All in all a good show though.

I found this while searching for Hart/Hunter lyrics:

The Hart and the Hunter
by Aesop

The Hart was once drinking from a pool and admiring the noble figure he made there. "Ah," said he, "where can you see such noble horns as these, with such antlers! I wish I had legs more worthy to bear such a noble crown; it is a pity they are so slim and slight." At that moment a Hunter approached and sent an arrow
whistling after him. Away bounded the Hart, and soon, by the aid of his nimble legs, was nearly out of sight of the Hunter; but not noticing where he was going, he passed under some trees with branches growing low down in which his antlers were caught, so that the Hunter had time to come up. "Alas! alas!" cried the Hart: We often despise what is most useful to us."

Abstract: The Hart admires his antlers and dislikes his slim and slight legs. When escaping from a hunter, his legs swiftly carry him away, but his antlers get caught in a tree. This allows the hunter to come up on him. Sometimes we don’t appreciate what is most important. What is most valuable, the beautiful antlers or the skinny legs?
