Forum MVP John A Posted April 7, 2015 Forum MVP Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 What a fun night! This was delicious from start to finish. Bird Song was a revelation. Usually when a band is as tight as, say, The Dead (or DSO), a guest musician is going to weight on the cohesive nature of the show. Not so tonight with Barry Sless. He never got in the way of anything that was happening, and his sound always elevated the mix, and he had many tasteful solos. Here is what happened, with my parenthetic running commentary… Set I: RippleBig IronRun For the RosesOperator (Lisa harmonica)Pride of Cucamonga (gnarly cool jam)Silver Threads & Golden NeedlesJack-A-Roe (Barry Sless very sweet jam)Dark HallowChimes of Freedom (beautiful crescendo)Dire WolfBlack-Throated Wind (Eaton other worldly)To Lay Me Down (just gorgeous)Monkey & The EngineerSwing Low Sweet ChariotSet II: Dupree's Diamond BluesMountains of the Moon (deep and haunting)Race Is OnOkie From MuskogeeUnbroken Chain (huge - how is this level of intensity possible in an acoustic arrangement?) ->Weather Report Prelude (so beautiful with Barry Sless) ->Let It Grow ->Simple Twist Of Fate (show stopper - and causes Mattson to stand briefly for first and only time in the show!) ->Throwing Stones -> (debatable arrow - they kinda paused)Bird Song (extreme Mattson intensity and somehow a total surprise exploding out of Throwing - just insane) ->Midnight Moonlightencores: Lindy (Lisa kazoo)Tell it to Me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
