Every now and again the band puts a performance out there that is just so good that it almost doesn't even make sense. Such a raw and beautiful song. Leaves you just shaking your head in utmost disbelief at it's intensity.
Flew from Seattle to Chicago at age 17 to see this show solo. Got a ride from O’hare with a hardcore DMB fan. Stayed at his place with his crew at Lake Geneva. I remember the guys doing coke while we played poker and was pretty freaked out. Now I’m 31 and find it funny to look back at it! Thanks, Rich if you’re out there. I got to experience this incredible two run show at Alpine thanks to you and other awesome DMB fans! Edit: updating this comment three years later… Rich passed away in April 2020… rest in peace buddy. Thanks for making the trip happen.
Ive got the 07 sampler cd if you ever need it ;). I’d actually put the trax 10 version of Abi above alpine but alpine has a great jam at the end and it looked like/sounded like leroi was improvising some pretty cool riffs as well. Pretty cool stuff.
I believe it's on the bonus disc that came with one of the Vegas Live Trax shows if you pre-ordered through the Warehouse. It was a best of 07' tour cd if I remember right.
