The "Strangers" from this whole run seem uniformly hot, and this doesn't disappoint.

Digging some 1990s spring tour lately. The LIG from this show is obviously magical, but there's great stuff throughout.

Worth a listen to the first Althea on the historic night of Tiger's premiere.

I know it's almost meaningless because it's said so often, but Jerry hits a deep vein of musical and lyrical inventiveness during this month, and this is another great example.

Poignant lead by Jerry, but I've always loved Phil's lick before the first verse. If you love some melodic bass playing, check it out.
