LINER NOTES:

	The Best of What's Around - like Dancing Nancies, this song has sort of fallen off the 
face of the Earth over the last year or two.  However, it's still an awesome song and when used 
as an opener like it used to be, it sets a totally different tone for the concert, and sets the
tone of disc 3.  This was the only time it was used as an opener in 1999, and even though Dave
misses the first few words, he makes up for it during the groove at the end.

	Lover Lay Down - the first sign that you're going to hear this song is when Boyd walks
off the stage.  Usually it catches you off guard, sets a tone, and leads into happy dance song.
The sweetest of the 1999 versions, it leads into...

	The Song That Jane Likes - a truly unique version, Dave breaks a string during the 
introduction, Carter and Stefan lay down a groove that sends Dave dancing and laughing to the 
back of the stage to get his new guitar.

	Say Goodbye - "here we are, ah under the stars, we'll listen to our hearts roar, and
tomorrow we'll make this connection, only with each other, only recollection."  Carter kinda
misses a major downbeat at the end of the song, but the typically altered lyrics are atypically
beautiful.

	Recently - unfortunately the entire first half of the tour we were treated to a truncated
three minute of this song.  Starting at Milwaukee, however, they began to play it out.  This is,
I believe, the only played out version of this song from the Summer that includes the Some Do/
Some Don't intro.

	For the Beauty of Wynona - only played three times all tour, this is the one song of this
tour that Mitch Rutman leaves his tater tots and hamburgers and joins the band.  He's a hell of a 
player and it's a good tradition to bring him up and a play a song each tour.  An especially
haunting version that would remind you of Tim Reynolds if you didn't know better.

	The Dreaming Tree - brought back at the Gorge, it was one of those songs along with
Angel that the band brought in mid tour in order to give them a few more options.  A long version
of this song gives them a chance to show their talents, and the lack of the screaming that would
occur during a single gives you a chance to relish their musicianship.

	Love of My Life - grammy award nominated song debuted the same night as John the
Revelator is believed to be the trade off as Santana got this, and DMB got John.  This version
is from the DMB 1999 year end award winning Giants Stadium, and all the guests again make this
smoke at the end juxtaposed with the beauty of the beginning.

	Pig - I had the hardest time picking a version of this over any other song.  This song was
somewhat rare early in the tour after it all but disappeared in 1998 from June on.  When June began
this year, they played at least once at every venue in June from Pennsylvania to Wisconsin.  Certain
things make this song hard to pick.  Carter began to rip up the end jam in mid June, but due to the
intensity, Boyd would have a tendency to go out of tune, and the end jam would really sound "off."
In this version, Boyd does go slightly flat once during the tune and a smidgeon at the end.  However,
Carter is absolutely at his best, and Dave improvs near the end of the jam after a long lay off, which
is the first and only time I've ever heard that.  Like DIDO on disc 1, learn the mumbles, turn it up
and scream with him, and try not to pull a neck muscle jamming with the downbeats.

This disc is by far my favorite of the first half of the set.

Enjoy.
