This was my first west coast show and thankfully, my east coast buddies came out to meet my west coast Buddy. Special was written all over this night before the concert even started.
Musically speaking, I still put this show up as the best of 09, definitely better than any show I saw. The Sally, Light and Gin are all worthy of inclusion on anyone's best of 09 list. Even the Hood and Slave had extra mustard in the jams. The Gorge seems to bring out a much more patient and exploratory band. Lets hope they don't skip this venue in 2012.
