Here is the reported set list from The Dead at the Midwest Inaugural Ball, Walter E. Washington Convention Center:
Dancin In The Streets
Uncle John's Band
Sugar Magnolia
Eyes Of The World

The Wheel
Touch of Grey
Box of Rain

Excellent choice of songs, I would say. "Dancin' In The Streets" was a no brainer to open

May 7 huh?
Well Jim...We are going to meet I do believe. Cross my fingers I can afford it. I will get a hold of a couple of my Denver friends and see if they can put us up. Wonder what the tix prices are going to be? They were really cheap when they were in Boise the last tour. I think I paid 55 bucks for reserved seating.
Any one seen if anything is uploaded from the Inaugural Ball yet?

No Wave that flag and Uncle Sam stuff?

I think Eyes of the World says a lot. I would have thought US Blues, Trucking, and Franklin's Tower would have been in there, but it was a limited set, and they picked pretty good, over all

It was a no tapers show. But people are looking and waiting for something to show up.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we can get together in Denver
