Awesome set list!! Bringing back some old school favs with "As Good..." and "Blue Jean". The highlight was Sk playing DIAMOND...yes DIAMOND....and forgetting the third verse and asking the crowd for some help! haha The heat was brutal and everyone was really hot but we all had a fantastic time!!
Some songs were:

Start The Day Early
Maria
Wagon Wheel
In Front Of The World
Sweetest Goodbye **Dedicated to all our brave men and women overseas**
4th of July
DIAMOND
Days
As Good As It Has Been
Blue Jean
See You Later, See You Soon
Now I'm Not So Lost
Cripple Creek
Fat Bottom Girls
Uninspired Gambling
(Feel free to add any I missed!)

Anthem was played.

And it was As Good As It's Been + Tuba.

Was a good time. Felt good to hear Diamond again. Even if we were no help in remembering the lyrics.

My friends and I are pretty much on a mission to get Stephen to sing "Diamond" at atleast one of our shows this Fall.

They finished the show with Time of My Life (complete with lift ). My friend actually got a pretty good video of Diamond. I'll have to post it when I get it from her...

So, I am so not computer literate and I'm having a difficult time with the Diamond video. My friend gave me a disc that has the video on it and it works fine for playback on my computer when I have the CD in but I can't get the file of of the disc onto my computer so I can upload it...anyone have any ideas how I can do this?

Hrmmm....I'm not sure Tiff. You could try and upload it to youtube right from the cd, or try and upload the file on sendspace right from your cd (when you browse for the file, just take it from the cd you have in the computer). Then you (and us) could just download it from there.

Amy - I think you need to upload them somewhere first (photobucket, flikr, wherever...), then click the IMG tag above and enter the html of where the picture is (from where ever you uploaded it to).

Hope that helps!

Love the video, but the person recording is standing too close to the idiot who yelled the lyrics to the wrong verse, which everyone then proceeded to yell.

And by idiot, I mean me.

Were you right behind us by any chance? If it makes you feel any better, I totally yelled the wrong lyrics too...just wasn't paying attention I guess. I was too excited that they were actually playing the song for my brain to fully function!

Acutally Jen!
You yelled the correct lyrics for the 3rd verse.
Stephen sang the third verse as the second verse!
So you were right, he just had a mix up!
I too was yelling those lyrics!

It was a GREAT show! I had so much fun singing and dancing around!

Hahah, YESSS!!! That makes me feel better, addieee! Considering its one of my favorite SK6ers songs, I was feeling like an ass about it.

Tiff, I must have been right behind you (or whoever was recording) because I show up in your video for a second when SK runs into the crowd.

Fun show. I never thought I'd see a bald eagles as an opener. It made me miss Soucy.

Jen- I knew the three of us couldn't be wrong!

Laura - I am eagerly anticipating your blog....and yes, how could the 3 of us be wrong? Too many years and shows between us for that to happen. I had a great time with you girls.

I have a few pictures and videos too...but I have no idea when I will get them posted.

ummmm will i be able to see the video before it is posted. Because I feel like it will be extremely humiliating.

Diamond was great regardless of the lyrics
I was so giddy after As Good As It Has Been that he could have just stopped and I would have not noticed...
Katie and Melissa can attest to my EXCITEMENT!
