I was very fortunate to be sitting in front of the soundboard for all of this soundcheck. I had never seen Dog Log played live and that was very cool to me for sure-especially cool considering that less than 24 hours from then that massive venue would be filled with 80,000+ phans and at that time there were less than 80 total people inside. I remember that my friend Jay Archibald had a cockatiel (very ornate bird) and while we were listening to Ginseng Sullivan the bird was sitting on Jay's shoulder when I turned around. It was strangely startling. The entire weekend inside the Temple of Fire was complete bliss and started out like this for me. I just cued up the Dog Log as I am typing. Such a great night and memory. SKI ya!
