Also was there in '05. "City on Down" is their best IMO
City on Down might be my favorite as well, it's especially great when they play it live. I've seen O.A.R. in concert four times, and definitely need to see them again sometime soon. Always put on a fun show, and although I haven't liked their newer music at much, they are still a solid band. Listening to them right now as I'm studying for my exam this afternoon.
I was at that show in 2005 as well. Awesome time. That really takes me back. They let people record their shows so you can still download a direct sound board feed of that show and most of their others.
Wow, me and the wife were at this show a year after we graduated. I was never a huge O.A.R. fan prior to the show (crazy game of poker got WAYYYY overplayed when I was in school), but this show was b.a.d.a.s.s. I've been to a lot of concerts, but this one was unexpected and special.. We had about 20th row on the floor middle-left, and I still remember looking up at the crowd behind me late in the show and absolutely, every, one of them were dancin'.
I've been a fan ever since. Any of you students that get a chance to see a show @ Stephens, don't pass it up....even if you don't think you're a fan. I've also seen Widespread Panic and Gov't Mule in Stephens. It's got great sound and a cool atmosphere.

Holy *****.....'fire on the mountain' gr8tful dead chorus in this show.....completely forgot about that. Thx again for posting. Again.....this show is b.a.d.a.s.s. Lots of references from the band about Stephens being the best crowd of the tour up to that point and calling out the "Iowa" crowd.
It's just hard to beat good live music, that adapts itself, to the environment it plays in.
