O.k. so I've had two people tell me in the past week that this was their favorite BRC show of all time. Recorded on 10-09-2003 at The Sooner Theatre, it's hard for me to pick a favorite but I will say that this one is up there. We started the second set with a standard So Many Things To Say > Come Around Blues > So Many Things To Say which had always been in heavy rotation for us. On this night we introduced Outside The Van Man Jam coming out of So Many Things. We don't actually hit OTVMJ until just over eight minutes in. I loved playing this song, it started as an improv and devoleped a little structure throughout the end of 03. Built on a series of dissonant chord changes it quickly become one of our heaviest and darkest jams and was a license to do whatever crazy shit you wanted, and we did. There are several teases throughout the jam, notably Jacob Fred Jazz Oddysey's "Muskogee Smalls" and Jimmy Buffet's "Jamaica Mistaica", which shows the range of the music we were listening to at the time. Maybe not so much musical tastes but definatly musical styles are drastically different and really tells all about the direction we were trying to take the music at that point. Clocking in at just over fifteen minutes we still weren't done and hit a sweet Lovelight Jam before going into Come Around and finishing it up with the So Many Things reprise. A hell of a way to open the second set at what is in my opinion the classiest venue in our small town. It was trully an honor to play The Sooner Theatre and I will always have fond memories of this show. I hope you enjoy it.

Also - Becuase of the lenght I had to make this track a low sample rate which makes the quality go down, so I didn't make it available for download. If anybody wants the high quality show in it's entirety let me know and I will try to make that happen.
