    I don't think it was the encore, but they did do a fine version
of it in the second set. First set was cut short by equipment hassles,
sot the total music time came to only 2 1/2 hrs, kind of short change
by dead standards.

    The performance was hot, though. And you could not have asked for a
more idyllic setting. Lovely small alpine valley, warm sunny afternoon.
"Turn On Your Lovelight" was back again, and I'm still a fan of
"China Cat Sunflower".

    Boreal, being a ski resort, didn't have near the ability to handle
the sheer number of people on the freeway exits and parking. If this
had been any other band's audience, the chaos could have turned ugly.
It didn't though. The most scary thing turned out to be some yoyos
who climbed up the ski lift towers, and even went hand-over-hand
out the cables to sit in the lift chairs! The management freaked, and
the yoyos had to come down before the second set could start.
