Comments:

How am I the first to comment on this heady show? The scarlet -> dancin was ridiculous. It sounded like they couldn't decide between fire and dancin'. Then phil and bobby just drop in with the intro. The first set was really realxing with a smooth transition from a wild and ragin begining, to the mellow drop off at the end. They were on this night. Not a show for the history books, but a solid night of ragin jams.

BIODTL. On the boards, you can hear Bob stop the initial 18 beat start, and they discuss something, and then- Theres a 4 beat, pause, followed by an 18 beat start.
A BIODTL with the month AND day noted in the opening beats. 4-18.
That my friend IS historical.
Sweet

Bit of a strangely short second set, but it's not really any worse for it. I like everything in it, so I guess you could call it very economical. The first two songs jam really well, and the last three are very spirited. Samson and A&A both have a little extra oomph to them, in my opinion. I like this first set, too. The Sugaree is choice. The 18 beats preceding BIODTL is as ridiculous as it sounds, but fun and unique. And you can indeed hear a little of the discussion regarding this before it happens. The Loser is absolutely banging - what a great song, and this is a stellar version. A ripping solo. Lazy>Sup is deservedly on an official release, as that slapped pretty hard, too. No complaints at all from me on this one.
