This is a show I will not forget soon.
Thanks Phil & Friends!!
By Matthew Ruzz (Mattymatt) on Saturday, October 06, 2007 - 10:35 am: Edit PostI was at the Fillmore, Red Rocks, and Santa Fe. Musically the 3rd set of RR was the best, but this show was probably the most special show I've ever been to. The venue was about 1000 people max, nestled into a hillside on an Indian reservation. You were able to walk around anywhere, and I spent the whole show about 10 feet from Jackie on the side (basically between him and the monitor soundboard), right next to the PA. I captured amazing video footage on my digital camera of a few of the jams, and the entire Weight encore. As soon as I figure out how to compress it (right now it's 600mb) I'll post it somewhere.
The show was great musically, especially the Eyes, Help->Slip->Franklin's, and the Cumberland. Jackie's got a great voice, and the band is playing very well together.
I also spent about 10 minutes talking to Jackie "backstage" (which was him standing on one side of the side railing and me on the other). Very humble, said he's having a lot of fun so far.

I was also impressed that the place sold no alcohol but nobody gave a rat's ass who smoked what, where, or how often.
