Good Lovin'

Hollywood Music Festival

Country fried funk that'll leak your hips sore from how much you're going to be moving them. Steady train ride.

The Spectrum

A walk through the woods until you come across a UFO which abducts you and takes you on a 4th dimensional journey. Breaking through the cosmic veil.

Kiel Auditorium

A romantic version full of power and passion, ideas bloom and blossom forth a beautiful force of energy. Keith and Jerry are intense and magnificent.

Jerry doing his best Robert Nighthawk and Muddy impression on slide. It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing, this has that swing.

Makes you wanna dance all night long, Billy is a rip tide sweeping the band of their feet sending them down that river at breakneck speeds.

Rocking the ship back and forward going through tremendous storms and unpredictable waters. A force of nature.

Other One>Spanish Jam>Space>Feelin Groovy>I Know You Rider. Wtffffffffffff I posted a more comprehensive review under the O1 but this standalone Rider is one of the best performed, a true music plays the band moment. You gotta listen for yourself, it's beyond words.

gdtrfb puts it perfectly about how Billy is right on time yet stays ahead knowing where the music will go next. This whole sequence is some of the best music ever made. I imagine this band of pirates setting sail on treacherous and unforgiving waters, the waters going from calm to downright dangerous and the band does everything they can to go with the current. Spiraling down a whirlpool and ending up in this lost civilization underwater, lost in time, forgotten by many, but these explorers take risks, and ultimately find treasure beyond their wildest dreams, deep, deep in the ocean.

Moving in ways I can’t describe. Jerry’s guitar is a true extension of who he is, and what he feels. His guitar speaks emotions he can’t put into words, a very, very beautiful solo that alters your brain chemistry. You have to take a moment to bask in it, it’s really that good.

Barn burner. Jerry’s tone this show is molten lava.
