Hello Jon. I was at the show and it was great. Thanks for the set list, I wrote it down as well, but wasn’t sure of the song names.
One song you missed though. Remember Larry Campbell’s guitar soloing as a kind of introduction to Chest Fever? That was actually his own version of “The Genetic Method” which was played by Garth Hudson on organ to intro Chest Fever when the Band was still together.
