Jem and Ben Harper were the openers. Didn't like Jem too much but Ben was cool. The second night was by far a heck of a lot rowdier than the first night. I'll never understand why cameras are strictly prohibited, but weed isn't. Amazing five minute jams that were so good I got chills. Best songs were #41, Everyday, Ants, Typical Situation, Jimi Thing, Too Much, WWYS, and Watchtower.

One of the highlights was during Dave's guitar solo of the second night. As I was watching the big screen, he looked really pissed all of a sudden. I clearly read his lips and realized that he was cursing at his guitar midway through his solo. I think it's probably because he messed up. And then his string broke near the end of that song. It must be so cool to be a kid whose sole job is to run out and hand Dave (or any guitarist) another guitar whenever a string breaks.

This was sadly the best quality picture I was able to take.
