I saw the show in Montreux last saturday (July 4th). In short: brilliant!
They also took off with the revisited "reelin' in the years" .
Other tunes I remember (in no particular order): Aja, Josie, Show Biz Kids, Babylon Sisters, Hey Nineteen, Glamour Profession, Time Out Of Mind, Parker's Band, Two Against Nature.
Kid Charlemagne as encore.
Not sure if they did Home At Last and Night By Night, or if that's just wishful thinking. My personal list of tunes they should have played is about 5 times that long (ok, about 95% of their discography).Apparently it pays to see them several times, as they seem to change the setlist around a lot.

The band were fantastic, as a group AND as soloists: many solos note-for-note like the record versions.

I had the opportunity/honor to meet and work with Keith Carlock on a drum clinic several months back, and besides being super-cool and easygoing, he practically invented "the pocket" (or he should have). On several occasions during the show, he practically disappeared behind other rhythm instruments, he was THAT TIGHT.

My 1st SD show, but definitely not my last, if I can help it.
