Two long winding setlists, including

several interesting placements, 

delivered with gusto by our favorite

band.

 

First taken out smoothly, business

picked up with the Jack Straw, Eyes,

a tasty combination.  Stand alone

Scarlet wrapped in Playin' feels

like a rarity, the end of the Playin'

I thought had a little HTH jam etched

in before the bump into Scarlet.

 

Second a roller coaster of tempo,

Prefer my Pete in the slow Jerry

spot.  Big River crushed. Super

sandwich closing sequence a ride

upon itself.  Hopeful for GDTR at

the end of Truckin', and was thrilled

when it surfaced after Other One. 

US Blues perfection bow wrap on

the day at the beach.

 

Praise DSO.

New Jersey played in New Jersey - nice🪅 , those hometown shows played with the possibility of hometown audience folks getting a second dose is worthy of consideration. Esp at the level DSO is currently performing. That would be a 25 year wait for those who started in 98. Unless Roosevelt had already been done in NJ? If not, I wonder the calculations that make this happen within the band. We (lots you here on the forums and those not) got to finally celebrate Riverbend 85 after the 23 years of finger crossed hopes. I remember reading forum post of ff being at the 85 SC Halloween show. Was that also played in SC and if so how long was the wait?

Carry on with reviews all you generous posters
