Why do SO many LoSers say that THIS show was their FAVORITE Leftover Salmon show? To wit, here's what they said...

"Warrenton -- the part where the street in front of the stage started out empty and stayed that way through maybe three numbers when a couple of 4-year olds went out and broke the ice -- then a 2-year old (maybe even younger) lass staggered out to a spot in the street right in front of the stage where Drew was playing and just stopped and stared up at Drew like he was, indeed, THE MAN! -- then the street filled with dancers to the point where there was barely room to stand, let alone dance. There were tiny folk, teenagers, baby boomers, gen-Xers -- all dancin' together. There were parents dancin' with their kids, parents dancin' and holding their kids in their arms, parents dancin' with their kids on their shoulders, and of course, the AARP set shakin' whatever they could -- mostly ALL folks who'd never even heard of "Bridgin' the Bert." It was that way until the town fathers made them quit -- the band had packed up and everything was again quiet and there were danced-out yuppies still standing around with their kids asleep in their arms -- still too charged up to leave -- still wonderin' what exactly had happened there. As one said to me, 'I've been coming here to these concerts on Saturday nights for years, but NOBODY has ever danced in the street before. THIS should happen every time!' Indeed! Yes, it should!"

"Warrenton- - it was my first LoS only show and there were so many kinds of people!!! There were even friend's parents there that I've known since elementary school!!!"

"Warrenton -- Courthouse lawn...or should I say in the street in front of the courthouse lawn. There was a ton of energy...oh and a lack of power at one point...and the 15 or so LoSers were helping to Bridge...Bert...in a big way...just to give you an idea of where things were at...often times it was our energy being funneled into the little kids and back out of the kids into their parents that really got things a rockin'...Overall that show and the people at it created one of the most positive LoS experiences that I can remember."

"The Warrenton gig by far. The energy that was flitting about touching young and old was intense. And the fact that when I arrived, they were warming up and i *ran* down the street, made a beeline for the tapers' area, saw a taper friend who I know that grabbed my cords and fed them into the array while I unpacked the rest of my stuff. I hit "record" literally 3 seconds before they started. I was so proud of myself. ;-)"

What is your favorite LoS experience?
