Both Ting and I were super psyched to hear the Who cover, In Tune, which ended with Chuck teasing a bit of the Beatles' Everybody's Got Something to Hide, Except for Me & My Monkey

One of the fun things about house concerts is the familiar vibe – the performers tend to be abit more personable, and often spend time telling stories or anecdotes rather than simply working through a rote setlist.

One short of example of this was Chuck's comment that Different Drum was penned by Michael Nesmith for Linda Ronstadt. Following up on that, I found an excellent page at Songfacts that contradicts Chuck while piling up all sorts of additional anecdotes.

Whoa! This section is incomplete for now, sorry!

Big thanks to Ting for the photo gallery!
