Subject: ATLANTA 11-5-99 In-Store & Roxy Theater (VERY LONG...)

Greetings all you LoSers,
    Dixie beer and crawdads Don here.  Just got in from Phatlanta.  Hope you 
all are ready for a lengthy review on LoS day in Atlanta.  So grab a beer, 
get comfy, and enjoy...

    To start things off, the boys (minus Jeff) did an acoustic appearance at 
Discover Music in Lilburn.  Talk about a great time.  I never knew you could 
fit so many people in such a lil place.   Because of traffic, the boys didn't 
get there till 7:30 but all was great.  They were in great spirits, it was 
Vince's b-day (HAPPY B-DAY VINCE!!!!), and the boys did an hour long set 
which just had everyone in the biggest smiles you'd ever seen.  There were 
even some lil children present who just had the greatest time dancin' and 
laughing just like us.  Talk about a treat.  At one point, one of the kids 
had a toy hammer and starting keeping time on the stage and Vince went into 
"If I Had A Hammer" which had everyone cracking up.  Well, here's the setlist 
from the instore:

As for the show at the Roxy that night.  What more can I say 
than...FESSSSSSSSSSSSSTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!  The boys were 
absolutely smokin' this night.  They had so much energy and were just 
constantly taking it to that "next level" that we love them so much to reach. 
 I don't know what it was.  The water, there beer, the new venue, I don't 
know.  All i know is this had to be one the best shows I'd seen in a long 
time and that says  alot since our boys never put on a "bad" show.  Vince was 
peakin' tons throughout the night and Drew was an absolute sick mad man...  
He was in great form and just smokin.  "Zombie Jamboree", we found Drew doing 
one of the sickest solos i'd ever seen.  He was jumpin and his hand was just 
flyin' so damn fast.  And in "Doin' My Time", Drew held the 2nd verse high 
note so long, Vince had to hit him on the back to stop.  Drew was totally on 
this night.  "Doin' My Time" was also another real treat.  After every verse, 
they'd go into this phatty reggae type jam that sounded like they were gonna 
swing into "When The Levee Breaks" but just when you thought they were gonna 
do it, here comes the rise up back into "Doin' My Time".  What a nice way to 
flavor that song up.    Other highlights included my request for "Danger Man" 
which had vince in top form, Jeff's phatty jam in "Boulet", and Col. Bruce 
stopping in for two songs, "Aint No Reason (?)" and "Yeild Not To 
Temptation".  What can I say boys and girls, we had a crazy show.  Agents of 
Good Roots (openers) sat in on a few songs in the 2nd set.  Not too bad 
actually.  They're guitarist/singer is mad crazy on the guitar.  Their 
opening set, what I caught of it, wasn't half bad either.  

Well, I hope that covers all the ground for the review.  Hope you all feel 
like you were there after this.  I'd like to use this space to thank the boys 
and my man, Johnny Pfarr for, once again, treating me like  gold before AND 
after the show.  It's always nice to know that your favorite band knows who 
you are and takes it to the next level.  I'm none less than honored.  Thanks 
again boys, and hurry back to CHARLOTTE this time :o)
