I'm sure it's been hashed over everywhere, but what a great time we had.  Lush lush lush venue, wouldn't complain if they did it again there next year...though my first vote is for Limestone, for obvious reasons. 

Not a Stones fan per se, but thoroughly enjoyed Exile, they did a great job with it.  Best set IMO was the 3rd set from Halloween night.  Helps that I was 10th row center. 

Acoustic set was very nice, a little mellow, and no big break outs per se (I was really hoping for more bluegrassy stuff from '94), but it was a treat.  Funniest part is when Trey asked everyone "are you SURE you don't want to sit down?  We're going to be playing some mellow stuff here..." then a few songs later "ok, now I want you to sit down - we've never played to a sit-down audience before" and +90% of the audience sat down on the lawn.  Then everyone stood back up once they busted into The Curtain With.  McGrupp was masterful hearing it acoustic.  Triple encore for a first set also very nice.

Suzy encore on Halloween was gnar, as was the best Loving Cup I've ever heard.

that acoustic curtain with is so magnificently beautiful.  the force was unleashed in a gentle yet powerful way on that one.  my favorite ever

I was having such and excellent time during that Curtian, just lazily strolling throught the crowd headed towards the stage...the back was wide open and nice...lots of folks sitti back chillin. Great time.
