After they had been teasing Warehouse into it, this was a sign of more possible surprises and twists, but they pretty much ended here. The better source of this show is faunt with digi-noise on the original DAT, so a lesser quality show with no source info had to be chosen. The sound is still very good, but not pristine. Seek Up - this was the first time this was played the Summer, and it kicked off the encore, maybe for the first time ever. Musically, the version is amazing. Clocking in at almost twenty minutes, the normal Boyd then Leroi solo into the fade out is extended by several minutes and Leroi absolutely wails at the end. Linus and Lucy - the longest version of the tour with an extended Carter and Butch jam at the end. Digging a Ditch > Recently - from an unreleased radio show in Chicago, it shows some of the metamorphosis that Ditch has gone through. Played maybe only one other time on the tour, Dave improvs the transition between the two songs during the soundcheck, commenting "a little death, then a little life." Don't Drink the Water - Unfortunately, Alanis only guested on this song the entire tour, and it wasn't Spoon. Then at Woodstock she went on right after the boys, and again did nothing. Even though the house speakers didn't bring her voice out during the song, (you can hardly hear her at all), and DDTW makes its second of three appearances, the song is essential to the set for her guesting. Tripping Billies - I'm of the opinion that you've heard one, you've heard them all. A somewhat speedy version compared to other 99's, Boyd stays in tune, and Dave remembers all the words, so this version makes the set. True Reflections - This song was overplayed when the ladies were guesting, so I thought it'd be nice to include one the only versions in 1999 that was just the band. Watchtower - I'm of the opinion that in general, the song is overplayed as a finisher, but this version makes me alter my opinion. I listened to this short somewhat lame show, and was disappointed after waiting forever to get a copy of it. This Watchtower makes amends for the entire show before the Band makes amends for it the next night. Enjoy. --Rob
