   Disc 1:
      The night of the groove, the mix.  A perfect SBD except for the cut
    in Sometimes.  Check out that 1st set.  And buried in nearly every song, 
    Radio throws down the freestyles.  First there's a tribute to George 
    Harrison and the New Year with Here Comes the Sun, then that 15 min. 
    mix of songs with the rarely performed Ganga Babe and FFTM.  Followed by 
    a crispy Oh My God that flows from the heart, like it does every time 
    they play it, but tonight it's awesome.  Then into a 12 min Stay Human, 
    and you know when it's long like that, there's gonna be a solo.  It's one
    of those tight old Satchmo mixes.  Dave cleans house on ESS first, during
    his solo, playing like how the Allman Brothers's songs from the Fillmore 
    in the early 70's have that sound.  Then it's good ol' Carl's turn.  Kevin 
    joins in, and it just jams along through these 'No matter where I roam' 
    choruses with the boys singing 'Everything is beautiful' in the background.
    If that wasn't enough, it gets better with Feeling Free, in one of those 
    classic 60s & 70s, mom & pop picnic type of squeaky clean reggae vibes. 
    If you don't blow a speaker on this tune, you might want to give away
    your stereo.  Listen closely to the working speaker for Dave doin' the 
    wah wah to Michael's lyrics, holy smokes.  I retracked disc 1 to end 
    with the Bomb The World acoustic.

   Disc 2:
      I moved Bomb the dub over to begin disc 2.  The original source shns 
    had both Bombs on the first disc, which made for a rough cut, because 
    Bomb > What Happens Next.  I left overlap for future archiving to dvd.
      The dub version is upbeat and has that great Radio intro, "gotta be 
    the bomb, gets the last word."  The whole song is peppered with Radio 
    in the mix and Mannas just busting the drums with a bunch of World Beat
    rhythms.  At nearly 10 minutes, d2 gets a great start.  The WHN they 
    play is real jazzy, with a piano solo over the salsa beats of Mannas 
    and Radio.  It doesn't have any of sharp edges, almost Santana-like at 
    points when Dave takes a turn on the guitar.  Michael sings out the 
    Soulshine, and it gets a great start from him.  Radio steps up and adds
    to what Michael did with a classic solo to fill out the rest of the song.
    That's the set closer.  4 encores, too.  The Sherri & Leon freestyle duet
    in Love Will Set Me Free is funny.  The mix on Sometimes is fantastic, 
    unleashing some great keyboards, guitar, and backup vocals.  There's this 
    hot duet between Carl and Dave that's really going when there comes a cut
    at 5:26 for a few seconds, but it jumps right back into a section with 
    Radio beatboxing the pan flute.  Michael opens it up a little later for 
    solos, and a woman from the audience takes a turn, along with Josh 
    on the ones and twos.  And after it's all over there's about 3 min.
    of thank yous.  This is surely one of their best shows.
