Well, it may only be these 2 gigs at Wolf Trap or maybe also Hartford, yes 30 min is a drag but that's how it goes in the sheds... I was expecting the worst--when SY has done this kinda thing before as support (REM, Pearl Jam etc) it's always playing to the empty seats w most anyone interested up on the lawn (read: a million miles away) but it actually wasn't as bad as I'd imagined it would be. It definitely helped that there were a couple strong supporters right down in front-thanks for that, guys. It helped me look past all the empty seats... Best part of tonight, our first show on this leg w Wilco, was that Nels sat in on half the set and that was super cool, reproducing his parts on the record (and then some!). We've been friends since SY started hanging out in LA in the mid-80s and it was great to once again share a stage with him. Hopefully tonight won't be an isolated instance! Thanks Nels!
