But in this case the staccato sound, especially with the sixteenth+ note runs Garcia was favoring, sometimes made the jams seem more like noodling than exploring (though there was plenty of that too)<br />2) As "The Wheel" transitioned into a blues, I was delighted to hear Brent coming in with the lead vocal (or was I just relieved it wasn't Bobby? ;~) In any case, like Anonymous, GTB was new to me too. I loved the song itself, Brent's vocal, and the whole way the band sounded with Brent's vocal on top.<br />3) Loved the way what started as a song ending crescendo turned into a a percussive jam that then transitioned to "Drums"<br />4) Never a down-tempo song, "Truckin'" comees in at a surprisingly faster clip than usual.<br />5) By giving the Sweet Jane a sex change, Weir manages to link the Hunter/Dead Sweet Jane to the Reed/Velvet Underground Sweet Jane. <br />6) Later in Truckin' Weir stumbles on the vocals and the remainder of the set is less inspired (to my ears) than what preceded it. But the band turns it back around halfway through the U.S. Blues encore when Weir stops playing slide and Garcia comes in with some stinging (legato) leads.<br /><br />I don't think I've ever used so much Italian as I did in these comments. Rock on.<br />Carmaighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05241915558141725690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7847493.post-11275681562689901562016-09-02T10:37:38.452-04:002016-09-02T10:37:38.452-04:00A song that's new to me (Good Time Blues)!
