The Palestra, U. of Rochester

Sounds exactly like I am standing next to the guy taping it. Rippin '70 sonic energy.

Plaintive and soulful take that gets nicely bluesy at the finish a fine example of their sound this year.

If you like them dark and what a heavy weight Jer carries in the last verse.

Haunting is right - Jerry's fried out vox and string plucking is perfect for some opium den storytelling right here.....oh boy and does Brent add some sweet color to this.

Oh yeah Phil all over this and Brent hits the pipe organ and harpsichord effects so so nicely.

Madison Square Garden

Can't really get over the Vince keyboard sounds of fiddles (?) not sure if it was his choice or Bralove serving them up at this time....sounds like a bad outtake of a Band tune. The jam that follows with Hornsby is totally worth a listen - unique play on TOO theme that is downright super.

Rosemont Horizon
