    0:33:29 – for the record, her text was “can u guys hear ok? maybe we should switch :)” at 8:12 PM. I didn’t take time to write back till 9:26, during the intermission. “Sorry. Enjoying our front row seats too much to text.”
    0:38:07 – in fact, he’s only done it twice this tour, prior to our concert: in St Louis (Thursday, April 29 2010) and at the second Mansfield show (Saturday, June 19 2010)

    1:20:17 – well, no: he did “Bank of Bad Habits” in this spot in the very first “Under the Big Top” concert. Also in this spot, they played “Brown Eyed Girl”, “USS Zydecoldsmobile”, “Fruitcakes”, and (anticipating my statement at 1:21:06) “Fins”.
    1:21:01 – “Fins” was the first encore song of our 2006 concert
    1:21:06 – a truer statement than with “Last Man Standing” as it turns out. “Fins” was the second to last song for every concert except Nashville’s (Sunday, May 1 2010), as mentioned above.
    1:21:18 – as proof, here’s another show notes exclusive: my video between “Fins” and “Tin Cup Chalice”
