Amazing start with the opening notes to west la. This band def was trying to go grateful dead style more than some other formations. Cris flubbed a few lyrics but def put his heart into every tune. Phil was smiling ear to ear most of the night ( which always makes me smile ). I was impressed with their intensity and focus during the first set, especially the keyboards. The dolphins is a Fred Neil cover that I bet cris knows from earhustlin on gram parsons, that's how I know it. Hands down his best vocal of the night, not that it was my favorite song, but it's a good one. Beautiful bird song, and gdtrfb was as uprise to me and I love it, I never got to hear jerry do that one.
Second set started hot with a really nice, if not required on Saturday night (love the song but hate predictability) it was a great shakedown tho--gimme shelter- I love the stones and this band def having 3 dudes that regularly play together made it a tighter cover than a lot of phils other attempts at some tunes wit one time or less familiarized players. Either I got tired or the energy dropped down, or both but I didn't jam as hard after that-- unbroken, always beautiful, makes me thankful to hav phil with us still after all these years when I hear him do this one especially, and glad to be in the room with him. Comes a time, I called this one before the show- up tempo 71 style, no falsetto tho-- real treat -- I'll never forget the comes a time from Utica 2010. I listened to roses from the train platform awaiting my ride back to town- all in all sweet fuckin show-- al schnier just added to last weekend at the cap. I know I'm a head and we are blindly in love with these guys but I am not continuously, but surely continually impressed, pleased, delighted, and stimulated by Phil's music. God bless the grateful dead-- love u guys too, stay grateful!
