Here near the rushing rapids of Cuyahoga Falls, the crowd toughed it out through the rains. DMB didn't falter, playing a strong set worthy of the audience's stamina. Early in the evening, Dave instructed the audience to cuddle up in order to combat the cold, but they failed to abide. We could see the ripples of heads bobbing and arms waving to the top of the soaked hill. Every night the sets are evolving...both in song arrangements and in the variations between old and new. We heard Stand Up for the first time in a while, LeRoi and Carter's popping solos putting smiles on our faces. The return of Dylan's All Along The Watchtower as a show closer has proven immensely powerful and reminiscent of the band's early days. We're working our way into another day off. It's now our turn to get wet, pushing cases and loading trucks in the rain. We'll see y'all at Riverbend on Wednesday.
