After seeing Elvis and Steve at the Tower I grabbed at the chance to see them again, this time in Camden. I had excellent seats for this. Its a much bigger place than the others that Elvis might play; in any event on this night they only sold seats in the middle section of the Orchestra.

By this time I am happy to see Steve Nieve play keyboards with Elvis at any opportunity. I believe this was my first time at this venue, the name of which has changed over the years several times. It later became a favorite summer venue for me, with a trip there for Phish and many weekend excursions for DMB shows.

These shows in Camden took place after a week that felt particularly depressing given current affairs and world events. In typical fashion, the Band provided positive vibes and uplifting tunes and on the first night, the rare and unreleased tune “Good, Good Time” was played in the Acoustic set. On the second night they played it in the Electric Set.

Also see my Post with Photos for Night 2 of this weekend. The Photos here suggest a strong Boyd night.

A good, good time tonight…

Also see my Post with Photos for N1 of this weekend.

These shows in Camden took place after a week that felt particularly depressing given current affairs and world events. In typical fashion, the Band provided positive vibes and uplifting tunes. On the first night, the rare and unreleased tune “Good, Good Time” was played in the Acoustic set; the entire song is sort of a rap by Dave over a repeating guitar riff, with no chorus or bridge. On the second night they played it in the Electric Set and nailed it. The lyrics to this one seemed to vary whenever its played, and had evolved over time.

“He said, she said, I said, you said
Gotta be something more
Cuz sticks and stones will break your bones
But words will start a war
Let's have a good good time tonight 

You and me, you and me we’ll make the whole world right
Let’s have a good good time tonight…

Don’t let it be said that we didn’t give it our best 
Good good time tonight  

To be with you
Shine on your light
Good good time tonight”

Amazing diversity of songs and phenomenal setlist. Warren fitting right in … with Neil Young’s “Down by the River” played with great passion; the ‘‘Lovely Ladies” on background vocals and the fans singing loudly.

There is a wonderful Copperpot video available online, My photos cover a lot of goodies including Boyd’s big solos, the “industrial" stage set for the Acoustic set, and some nice looks up at Dave and Carter as they mingled a bit after the show. The sequence with Warren bears a resemblance to what’s seen in the Copperpot video, but my angle is a bit more extreme and I think it makes the shots pretty interesting.
