Last show of the Atlanta run was the best -- and a highlight of the entire Spring tour. Both set-openers were hot out of the box. Pacing was a strong suit throughout. The first set segue from "Hell" to "Sugaree," "We Can Run," and "Masterpiece" was top-drawer, with "Row" a brief respite before an explosive "Picasso." The second set never even stopped for air. "Estimated/Scarlet" rocked, and the transition to "Crazy," a real surprise, completed a solid threesome. "Playin" weaved into a spooky drum segment, misting into "Home" before closing out in by-now typical fashion. Perhaps recognizing the end of a fine tour, the guys "Bid [us] Goodnight" in style, a thoughtful gesture.

My buddy and I plus the taper guy who stayed with us who lost his buddies the second show arrived at the same lot we parked the day before. Hung out for a few then went into the concert.
This night we sat directly behind the stage with a perfect view of the walk way where the band members walked up to the stage and into their little personal huts before taking the stage. Jerry walked up wearing a hat and carrying a briefcase. Everyone else casually walked up to their own little huts. We also had a perfect view of the drummers when playing the big drums and beam. This night capped off another picture perfect show to follow up the picture perfect run. Every song a highlight.
When the band finished and were heading down the walk way, we got Brents attention and said hi and that he played awesome. He said thanks, waved back and continued walking. Little did we know beyond our wildest imaginations that that would be one of the last times we'd ever see Brent. He seemed to be in a good mood.
After we got back to the car, we ran into our new taper buddy who finally found his friends again and thanked us for helping a brother out. We traded addresses and traded tapes of the last show and never heard from him again.
