And speaking of energy, I wonder why the Dancing Queen medley hasn't been mentioned yet. I absolutely adore that one, and Falcon Ridge '96 had a LOT to do with that. It was their last song of the main stage set, and *everyone* (well, almost... everyone I could see) got up and danced. Fruvous were the only act allowed to do a main stage encore that year. *grin* Psycho Killer used to imrpess me, but as there is very little improv there, and as it's been played quite a bit, my attitude towards it is lukewarm at best. I like LP9, but I've heard it a lot and would selfishly love to hear other stuff in its place, that doesn't get quite as much play. And if it has to be a medley, why not DQ? :) OR... maybe they'll surprise us with a completely new one sometime soon. Beatles, anyone?
