    For those that do BitTorrent the Tampa show (audio) is up on DimeaDozen and Jungleland.


    Reports from the Orlando show have the band playing the rock version of Blood Brothers (similar to the version on the Blood Brothers EP that came with the VHS when it was first released) after the video tribute. The show also included Does This Bus Stop, Jungleland, and a guest spot from Roger McGuinn to open the encores. With McGuinn they played Turn,Turn,Turn and Mr. Tambourine Man.

    Bruce's eulogy from Danny's funeral - plus the video tribute they've shown the last two nights at the shows can be found on Bruce's official site:

    An excellent show in Charlotte Sunday night.

    After the Danny tribute video, Bruce opened with "Souls of the Departed" and he and the band played with the ferocity of kids half their age. The show went two hours and 45 minutes.

    Clearly, Danny's death and Clarence's poor health have raised the stakes as everyone played like they were auditioning for a spot in the band. It was all business and I mean that in a good way.

    Some fun old stuff: "Wild Billy's Circus Story," "Kitty's Back" and an absolutely incendiary version of "Lost In The Flood."

    Nils Lofgren played a ton of slide guitar and really stood out, but just about everyone who took a solo tore it up.

    All told, it was a strong effort and a worthy tribute to Danny.
