The drummer, Carter Beaufort, is the best in the business, rivaling Billy and Mickey. They played For What It's Worth (S. Stills), highliting the line "stop people whats that sound everyone look what's going down" trying to get the crowd to see that their country is being stolen from them in the greatest marketing ploy ever. Then played was All Along the Watchtower. I thought it funny, a song about Armegeddon advocating people to vote...A totally straight white crowd...Good show, good time...

Sounds like a good time. How was My Morning Jacket and Jurassic 5?

As a side note, Carter Beaufort is pretty good. But imho, no where near the power of Matt Abts, John Molo, or Rodney Holmes.

Didn't see the opening acts.

I like Carter, but come on there are better drummers than him. Molo, rodney holmes and even brain.

Carter is pretty damn good no doubt - one hell of a drummer...but Rodney Holmes, that dude is in another league.
