Jeff asked me after the show how it compared with last year's Sweetwater acoustic.  I replied that both shows were great but there was no basis for 
comparison, as the vibe was totally different.  Last year it was a quiet, 
seated, toe tappin and head noddin crowd-with the illusion that the boys were playing a private party in your living room.  This year the front tables were taken out, creating a sizeable dance floor, and it was a standing, hard dancin', very chatty and, in a few cases, way too drunk gathering.  The band fed off the energy-it wasn't a laid back jamming show like last year.  It was a very good show-prob my fav of the recent run of 3 in the Bay Area.  In general I'd have to say the band is jamming more than the were a few mos. ago.  White Sky Rain is my current fav, and this one is the best I've heard.  Lotus Dreams, another personal fav, wasn't as good as last year's but better than at Earthdance, and always a treat. Can't wait for Feb 4 at Fillmore!
