Notes Soundcheck was Human Touch, Loose Ends and Dead Man Walkin'.

100th show of the tour. Patti is absent with no explanation. Bruce says "Patti's not here, but the boys are gonna do their best tonight" Dead Man Walkin' is a tour premiere played for Oregon's Life for a Life campaign. Rendezvous is an audible, in ersponse to a sign in the audience.
Working On The Highway has Bruce flub his water spout shtick for the first time in memory - part of a triple-flub really. Max started the beat for She's The One, which was on the setlist (but not played except for a few teasing drum pounds) Bruce's spray sputtered and missed the spotlight. Third got an eyeful of the ejected fluid, was blinded by the light, and called out as he wiped his eye. Max stopped the beat and everybody else stood motionless. It was a moment which made one firmly realize how tight this band is and how rarelt there is any mis-step.
Bruce got political for the tour debut of Dead Man Walkin'. He noted and named supporters of the Life for Life Campaign in Oregon, including Governor John Kitzhaber and other politicos. "Sign the petition for repeal" he urged. Then sounds of previously unheard on the tour made their way out over the audience. It was a magic moment, an no doubt Dead Man Walkin' is a song that could and should re-appear soon. - Bill Daverne.

I was at this show. It was great.
