* interrupted by weather delay

To start, we jump into a really tight Big River jam at night 2 of Shoreline.  Then, we'll head over to an incredible night 1 encore at rainy Wrigley field with Knockin'.  Moving on to night 2 at Wrigley, I've selected one of my favorite country tunes in Mama Tried, which got its first play from Dead and Company a few weeks earlier.  Then, an emotional Bobby performance in Standing on the Moon in the second set.  Next, we make our way to Queens to hear John Mayer play one of his favorite tunes on Jerry's Wolf Guitar.  I'm a little burned out on Althea from Dead and Company, but I think you'll really enjoy his guitar tone in this one, it just sounds fantastic.  Next, we'll head to Texas for a beautiful Jack Straw and leave on the 4th of July in time to make it over to Boulder for the tour closer.  Another weather event was the story for night 1 in Boulder, as Cold Rain and Snow was fittingly interrupted by a vicious storm.  When the sky cleared 90 minutes later, they jumped right back in and finished it, before jumping into quite possibly the longest set they've played in order to squeeze the whole setlist in before curfew.  And finally, we'll close with a powerful Estimated Prophet on night 2.

Before you yell at me, two notes about Nathan's Picks:
  1. With each volume of Nathan's Picks, I've limited myself to what will fit on an 80 minute CD, which is why you only see 8 songs here.  It honestly feels criminal to try to whittle the tour down to a short list like this, so I apologize if I offended you.

  2. After some soul searching, I've decided to continue of the tradition of slotting performances in chronological order, which makes for some interesting setlist ordering.
Enjoy! And please let me know about any glaring omissions in the comment section!
