This show saw the ABB continuing to mix up the setlists to make every show a unique experience. They opened with two songs they hadn't played yet on the tour, "Can't Lose What You Never Had" and "Done Somebody Wrong," which featured an extended outro jam. Then the band followed that up with a 1-2 combo of "Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad" and "You Don't Love Me" that works so well on every level. From tempo to lyrics, these songs are made for each other!

Bruce Katz of Gregg Allman and Friends sat in on "44 Blues" and "Dreams," adding his bluesy touch to both songs, and Warren wails on a fierce "Hoochie Coochie Man." A blockbuster version of "Jessica" that ran nearly 30 minutes including the "JaMaBuBu" segment capped off the set, and the band returned to the stage for an emotional version of "No One To Run With" that was dedicated to Dave Matthews Band sax player Leroi Moore, who passed away the day of the show.

Another great show on what is shaping up to be a great tour!
