Tasting Notes

This show has a particularly interesting vibe. The He’s Gone has slow and at times mournful quality that gets back to an uplift moment – almost that of a New Orleans funeral march. The band clearly has something on its collective group mind. This takes us into a super sweet Jack Straw that again has a feel of a lost friend. As always, Jerry is teaching us a lesson with Deal and then we get to Playin.

Just listen and enjoy – and let us know what you think of the show in the comments down below!
