Easy breezy with the glinty afterglare of yore. Drifty transition to boot. Nice twilight septet memory making.

Hard hat 92, bluegrass plinky. Alchemical goop-laden improv. bluesy panache.

touching simplicity of row bridges the bullet-train nowness of this ripping bizarre banger. Post-capitalist freako jazz hair metal..

You know it's going to be a mammoth set when they cover a 12-minute, 1,000000 word dylan song in set 1. heady in the abstract sense, but it's driving and quite somethin'.

very nice playing sprinkled through this whole show, including on a ready-to-rip S&D
Row Jimmy

Really sparkling and lush. Its great stuff, shows the kind of rhythmic complexity of the Row Jimmy chord changes in a fast way. heady midi stuff

Some barrelhouse fun with bob. Some really cute moments with Jerry and Vince having some fun. Overall a tight rendition.
