Saw them in South Burlington, VT, IIRC in the middle or aftermath of a snowstorm. My second and last time after a free Central Park show in 2002. I remember gangly Thurston saying "hello Brattleboro" at the beginning and sticking his tongue out and all excited to accept pictures given by young people near the stage. Kim looked very tired and did not speak to the audience, as best I can recall. In retrospect it seemed like a harbinger of things to come.

Can report a similar dynamic at the show we saw. Thurston had brought an open beer on stage with him, which seemed to be much to Lee's chagrin. Perhaps also explains why "Jams Run Free" and "Shaking Hell" ruled so hard, as it was Kim's chance to steal the show. Which she did with ease.
