With the exception of Cowgirl, it looked like they did the tour setlist in
reverse.  I started to get a little pissed over the commercials cutting into
Powderfinger and FHTH in the beginning of the set but they showed the
balance commercial free (I think).  I know some don't, but I love Neil's
rants to "send money" and the like at Farm Aid.  He made some crack about
moving Jerry Lewis to the left to make room for him.  That stuff is
hilarious.  Did everyone catch Neil calling "Dubya" a "tumbleweed"?  It
looked like he made it up right ont he spot.  The highlight for me was
"Cowgirl" because I hadn't seen it live before.  I was bouncing around that
family room for that one.  Before he started it Neil said it was OK to pick
up the phone because it was a long song and to call during the solos because
everyone did that anyway. The intro sounded a lot like LAH.

The CSNY set was standard.  They sounded better than that opening night
thing on VH1 for the CSNY2K thing.  Helpless electric was pretty cool.  I
remembered Neil's solo in Crosby's ACMH to be hot at the show I saw.  It was
just so-so for the Farm Aid broadcast.  The only downer for me was CG.  It
sounded tooo ssslllooww.  You can't beat Crazy Horse for backing on that
one.
