I've lived all over the country for the past 24 years but grew up in Sioux City. You don't realize it but the line-up they've got would be a HOT ticket in a place like San Francisco, Denver or Albuquerque. Phil Lesh played with Bob Weir and Jerry Garcia in the Grateful Dead. That's not talent? The Bodeans could sell out Red Rocks in 24 hours! That's not talent? Umphrey's McGee is a big new talent playing on satellite radio channels. I'm sick that I can't be there. This is as good a line-up as I've EVER seen for Saturday in the Park! "
