Dana Fuchs...Chops like Joplin...amazing voice, presence...really electrified the night...Watch her!

Did she play w/ Big Brother & the Holding company last summer?

Dana is solid. Was shocked to see her out there. First saw her playing in a small bar on UWS back in '97, even hired her/band to play 2 different parties (pretty sure it was $1000 a pop). Seemed to me her profile had stayed amazing low given how impressive she is. Maybe she'll be back tonight?!

I loved her in Across The Universe. She's hot looking and has a big voice.

Nothing bad to say about her!!

Dude, that was def ahead w/ "live" below it...

...but it def ain't our man Jerry.

Playin' into Beatles...

I believe it was Mark's mask from his radiation treatment and his mantra...LIVE

Thanks Sunflower...What was with the pace...great vibes in the audience and on stage but what's with all the slow stuff/Jerry stuff/heavy stuff they played like Victim or the Crime, He's Gone, Days Between, etc.......??????

No thoughts on Fri or Sat? I was there Thurs, there were some highlights. Same for Fri, but could have done without the rappers. Setlist.com ratings prob accurate to my opinion...just average, leaning toward a bit of a disappointment. I hope they got back to basics on Sat...

Days Between, Victim or the Crime, etc......some flashes of wildness...Slower choice of songs...which is crazy for second set Sat night...when you expect a high paced knock the ball out of the park show...Something with an inability to ever take off and and stay there as he has done in past...Encore with One More Sat Night...slower than usual...???

OK now I know...way toooooooooooomuch fun in NY guys.

That Jerry head on stage with cool shades and sign underneath that says "LIVE" in huge letters was MK's radiation suit.................He is looking and playing healthy since the chemo.

I loved Sat di8dn't see Thur or Fri But Sat was back to basics Help slip Maggies Dark star WRS etc
