I remember when they announced this show, I was in school at UNC-Wilmington and we were so excited. We had always heard that this was an awesome venue and since it was kind of small we were worried about it selling out. So we decided to go to the venue and camp out the night before tickets went on sale. The tickets went on sale several months before the show. Great move. It did sell out fast. They had a huge group of people show up, party all night, and we even had a fire out there. We had as much fun that night as the night of the show. We got great tickets, though there really weren't any bad seats, and met some super folks. We got to go that night after the sale to Love Auditorium and see Jorma solo acoustic with his twelve string and his six string ovation guitars. It was my first time seeing him. Great show. I do remember the whinin' boy blues that he played. I have seen him many times since.

The Show. I loved the way they did Minglewood during this period. They opened with this and we noticed something seemed off. Then we realized that Phil and Jerry had switched sides. I have always thought that it was because Jerry wanted to be closer to Brent but I don't really know. If any of you guys know the reason, technical, personal, or what ever please let me know. It was an all around solid Show. As rocking as the next night was spacey.
