just a short comment on the TIM H review ,, i was down front on the railing right corner of stage in front of keyboard player i can not think of his name ,, it was ok untill half way thru 2nd set then it got more crowded & tight for space ,, most of the fans stayed cool ,, but a sweet show by the band !!!! and yes we do like good concerts and music in UTAH !!!! yes it is a very good venue it looks good & sounds great !!!! my # 1 spot after that STRING CHEESE INCINDENT ....

What a beautiful place, and what a crowd! The mellow security didn't care what we brought in to consume while we set up our pik-a-nik - I recommend the fruit cups from the local grocery as a perfect set-break snack. And there was none of the mosh-pit crowding so common elsewhere. We had plenty of dancing room even FOB.

As for the setlist, the playing was superb all the way through. I was surprised (and briefly annoyed) to hear Song In My Head so soon after Red Rocks, but I guess they weren't satisfied with the previous performance and wanted to get it right this time. Give Me The Love may be my new favorite. Really, though, I can't remember a better show all-around.

If they ever play this venue again I will do all I can to be there.

Wow...it's been over 11 years since I've seen cheese in my home town. I've lived in NY the last 10 years so I've been able to catch a ton of East Cost shows over the last 10 years with the occasional Winter Carnival/Festival Show vacations thrown in there.

I booked an extended vacation just so I could fly back out here for this and to prepare for our drive to Hornings in a few days. This show was so sentimental to my family. My brothers and I have grown so much over the years and between the 4 of us we've seen the band over 200 times. This was the first show that I've ever seen with all 4 of my brothers together. Not only that, my dad and my niece (4 yrs old - favorite song San Jose - A-oo, A-oo) also experienced their 1st show as well.

This has got to be one of the coolest venues ever. You could bring coolers and they didn't care what you put in them. Absolutely no searching, and I'll be damned if I saw a single security guard. The show ended at 10 o'clock which was stated (and there was a 6 o'clock start time) however at the end of the show you could tell a lot of people were wishing they'd have eaten their fungi earlier as they were just starting to peak as the show ended.

The barefoot boys really made tonight special with a great mixture of old school songs and fan favorites, great segues, near perfect old school exploration, and just an overall sense of having fun. As far as Hornings is concerned: Hey-ay-ay-ay, Can't Wait Another Day!
