Throwin' Bones Episode 4 - Peakin' At The Beacon...Continued



Our countdown to the Spring Tour continues with more music from the Big Apple. We again visit the Beacon Theatre and will listen to what is widely regarded as one of Ratdog's finest shows......ever. The second night of the '03 Beacon Run, October 25th featured a full night of solid playing. We will focus on the second set, featuring:

Dark Star > Sitting In Limbo > Scarlet Begonias > Stuff > Knockin On Heaven's Door > Throwing Stones > Slipknot! > Franklin's Tower


Josh Roseman (trombone) and Rob Barraco (keys) join the band to lend a little hand and the result was a magical night of music. Enjoy.

Throwin' Bones Episode 3 - Peakin' at the Beacon

Our production editor is on hiatus this week, so our podcast will be sans commentary this week, focusing on the music. We will feature the second set of October 24th, 2003 at the Beacon Theatre for Episode 3. While its counterpart on the next evening typically gets more praise, I've always had a thing for this show, particularly the second set. Our show features this segment:

Black Throated Wind ... Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo > The Wheel > Stuff > Standing On The Moon > Sugar Magnolia
