The Spectrum

This is what LLR is all about -- silky harmonies with Bob and Donna at one of their vocal peaks, and Keith filling it in -- understated and exquisite.

Huntington Civic Center

Really laid back beginning out of Iko Iko, but Jerry's solo is somehow simultaneously fluid, mellow, AND intense. Superb finish, too!

If you like 3-18, you'll like this one, too; some vocal flubs, but the groove is perfect.

Horton Field House - Illinois State University

A decent Promised Land till the end, when the band just hits another gear completely, kicking off a superb show.

Such a genuine rendition, really beautiful.
Stella Blue

Orpheum Theater

Listened to this again tonight -- part of an absolutely incredible 80 minute sequence that's the sweetest, dreamiest stuff I've ever heard the boys play. Some all-time Dead moments happen in this Stella -- totally out of this world.

So much in this show ... the Casey Jones and Dupree Diamond Blues, and this LIG are all superb.
