Listening to the show in my car over the last few days has brought back memories of the evening the music was first played, which is a beautiful thing that something can help you remember moments from seventeen years ago!

But I'm also enjoying hearing the show again and hearing things I don't remember as well from the evening (China->Rider at the end of the second set, for example).

I'm feeling gratitude.

On this particular evening, my wife and I got seats above and to the left of the stage at the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul.

(She isn't a big fan of the Dead but she has been a good sport and has gone to a few shows with me and is happy that I'm happy for this music.)

By this time I had seen three other Ratdog shows and had been fortunate that Bobby liked to tour the Midwest so that a road trip wasn't necessary for us.

I enjoyed queueing up after a particularly good show and waiting for those three discs to be printed and packaged to take home and relive the magic of those evenings!

Daily #SteveKimock. Steve has loved The #AllmanBrothers since he saw them at #LehighUniversity in 1971. He actually filled in for Dickie one night in the late 90s. I couldn’t find a clip of that so here’s a clip from when he sat in during the #ABB tour with #Ratdog.

I got a chance to hang with him at one of those shows, and met #DerekTrucks and a few other band members.

@bourgwick if I am elected Rat Czar I will chase down these pizza stealing rodents with an army of Yorkies. #ratdog

And secondly today's Concert Of The Day.

Ratdog, December 2nd, 1997

As always, no reviews, no hints just good live music.
