The sound on this is just fine- no matter what the mix is. The line up is lots of fun with some toe-tappers really filling out the night nicely. Everything in the first set seems really upbeat and rollicking. There is an interesting little jam in the last 60 seconds of the Row Jimmy that resembles what might have been a something of a Beer Barrel Polka jam but isn't. Jus some fun tinkering. Let it Grow is strong and long and could have ended the set on it's own but instead they throw in a Don't Ease for good measure.



The Throwing Stones -> Lovelight is also fun to hear. It is a swift transition that catches the crowd off guard for sure. Not the best Lovelight by far- but enjoyable. The only thumbs down for me is the Black Muddy River encore. Not that there is anything wrong with the playing (although Jer does sound a lil vocally worn down at this point in the night). It is purely nostalgic reasons that I am not fond of BMR - being one of the last songs the band ever performed live. Great show tho - i would give it 3 1/2 stars but there are no half stars so - I'm forced to give it 3.
