Notes

I was really glad that I made it over to catch this set, though I was slightly miffed that they seemed to start a minute or three early – coulda made it to my spot if they'd waited!

Although it was certainly crowded at the Banjo for this day-ending set, the crowd here was pretty well behaved, much like the Rooster crowd. Maybe the new security rules had the unintended effect of cutting back on the number of drunken fools? If so, I'm happy about the change!
