Silva Hall - Hult Center for the Performing Arts

One of those heady, gritty early 80's Duprees. Also Jerry nails the lyrics! No fumbles at all, astonishing really

Lovely show opener, mix is a bit wonky at first but Phil is all over it. Great show all in all!

You don't know funk until you've heard this magnificent Shakedown. Out of Playin', a rare and special treat

To add on to Bcarters comment, there is a lovely medley around 8-11 min into Dark Star where they flow from MLB jam>Other One jam>DS first verse. Very cool indeed
