A nice night to see the Mickey Hart Band. The weather in Boulder was good for this time of year and we gathered a few friends before the show for some pre-show beers at a local microbrewery in anticipation of the upcoming show.

There was no opening act, So we knew we were in for a 3 hour dose of the Mickey Hart Band. About 9:30, they came out to start the first set of music. The show started off with “Let There Be Light” which set the crowd up for a great evening. The transition into “Starlight” was nice as well. The crowd really got into it when they got to “Iko Iko” and the surprise “Fire on the Mountain” we were expecting as an encore. The second set started with “Heartbeat” as the crowd came out of the side conversations to settle back into the music. “Slo Jo”, “Cut the Deck”, and “”Who stole the Show?” were nice songs as well. Then, we got a “Scarlet Begonias” into “The Other Ones” which was a real nice treat thinking we were not going to get it when “Fire on the Mountain” was played in the first set. Finally, we got a nice “Down the Road” which was a great sendoff for the fans as they left for the evening.

Highlights: Let There Be Light, Djinn Djinn, Iko Iko, and Scarlet Begonias > The Other One
