The show was short, as will be my review...It's Mary here from The Meadows in Hartford. I think Shakey already filled you in on the lack of an early set due to Neil's sore throat. That might explain the quick exit last night. It was an excellent show up to that point. The sound was perhaps the best I've ever heard, with the exception of Ottawa last year...fantastic Big Time, killer TTN (quite a bit different from the version I heard at Pine Knob)...short acoustic set, only 2 songs. I thought Neil sound hoarse (horse?) on Hank to Hendrix, and I experienced a moment of panic (as well I should have, given the cancellation of today's acoustic set -- we may be in for another short one tonight). It's a beautiful day here in Hartford. I had a front row seat for the start of Kula Shaker earlier (thanks to Frank & Leo), and I was rather impressed (although I got kicked out of those seats during the third song and spent the rest of their set chatting with Arc in the Rustrow). The banner's been hung at the back of the lawn all afternoon, blowing in the breeze...a fellow from Japan dropped by to ask about our More Barn shirts, and I gave him instructions for joining Rust. He may end up at the IRF this year, making it a truly international event. I'll sign-off now...Beck starts in five. If you haven't seen Beck, you're in for a real treat. That sailor suit is to die for. I am indeed smitten. :) ]]]]] Lonesome Whistle^ [[[[[ P.S. Talking to the Lionel guy this afternoon, I mentioned Andy's theory about GW#2 (that because the trains would be already set up, Neil would have no excuse to play and would have to do an extra-long acoustic set). The Lionel guy agreed. Let's hope (pray?) P.S.S. Slug: On the NY State Thruway today, they were painting the dirt (green). You were correct, sir!!
