Must Have Been The Roses: The Persuasions on stage with Ratdog

Ratdog's October 2009 Beacon Run was incredible and I'm very lucky to have not only been there for all three shows but to have had such amazing seats. Thursday night I arrived at the show only to realize that my video camera battery was still at home in the charger. Especially bummed since I was third row center!! I'm including the setlist here so that I remember the show and you can I can both look up other people's videos from that night. Terrapin was epic as was Here comes Sunshine, Big River, Dire Wold and Let it Grow. Milestones is always so beautiful. Friday night: Sixth row center and another fantastic show. Estimated rocked the house...Love a good Loose Lucy, Scarlet & Sugar. Me and my uncle is an all time fav. And then there's Saturday... just when you think it can't get better, he blows your mind. Front row center seats make for very nice videos. Too bad my memory card kicked half way through the second set. The Persuations were KILLER!! What a treat. Ripple was just beautiful... but really, look at this set list and to hear the beautiful darkstar finish after the Tuesday night Ballroom start was icing on this very delicious cake of a run.
