LINER NOTES:

Proudest Monkey --> Satellite - chosen because Dave is obviously still sick
from the night before, which is alledgedly the reason the first night went
less than 2 hours.  So his voice is completely shot.  He only attempts one or
two high notes in Satellite making an interesting change to a totally
unchangeable song.  This night's Proudest Monkey was the first of the tour,
and the first time it was played during a summer tour since 1996 for some
reason.  A good mellow way to kick off disc 2.

So Much To Say --> Too Much - chosen completely due to Jamal Milner's work on
the bridge.  He absolutely tears it up to the point where the rest of the band
hangs and listens to him play.  As he finishes his solo the band is not ready
to come back in to finish the transition, as they were listening.

Dancing Nancies - one of the true rarities of the '99 tour, and an absolute
blessing to see live.  Boyd's solo is spectacular giving him a chance to shine
on a song apart from Lie in Our Graves, or a repetitive solo like Tripping
Billies and Jimi Thing.  After the song, each member shook his hand as he
walked around the stage.

#36 - not counting the PBS show which was more Fall than Summer, this was the
only time this was played.  After soundchecking it many places including
Hershey, they finally brought it out on the last night of the tour, slowed down,
with the lady guests and minus the opening drum solo to give it a completely
different feel from years past.

Crash Into Me - possibly the definitive version of the song.  I remember saying
to someone the first time I listened to this show that Dave's voice at the end
sounds better than I had ever heard it before.

John the Revelator - probably going to be included on the next studio, it's a
nice sneak peek at it here from Giant's Stadium.  All the guests make this thing
absolutely cook.

Warehouse --> Ants - the night before in Polaris, we got a preview of this.  The
Warehouse tease into Ants was used a couple times in 1995 including at a
Saturday Night Live taping, then brought back a few days earlier at the World
and again, the night before in Columbus.  This however is the first known time
that the full version of Warehouse was played into Ants.  Somewhat of a surprise
as they kicked into the intro again which led into Ants.
