Surprise, surprise. It was brutally hot in Dallas and this venue always seemed to feel extra hot compared to other Texas spots. So to my surprise, Fishman comes out in a three-piece suit and hangs up his jacket on a coat rack that had been set up. He proceeded to play with the vest still on for quite a while. I think he took the vest off eventually, but still played the show in dress shirt and pants. I suspect nobody wanted to get anywhere near that suit at the end of the show.

The clear highlight for me was the Gin to the end of the set. Great stuff! The dual drums didn't do much for me. I don't think he knew the grooves too well and the whole set felt disjointed rhythmically. A worthy but failed experiment IMO. The next night was better but it still might have been better without him. I mean no offensive to his playing...it just didn't gel properly.

This was a good show, but not up to par with the rest of the tour, with the exception of the Gin.
