## Notes

Another fun night of Grateful Dead music. The crowd was pretty chill -- especially compared with the craziness of Vegas last month. Good to be home with my norcal peeps! Happy to hang out with friendly folks before the show -- makes the passing time that much more pleasantly spent.

Performance-wise, I thought tonight was pretty good, though not as high energy as the Vegas shows.  And just a little short. Middle of the first set was pretty darn good, especially Bobby's masterful guidance leading the band from _Standing on the Moon_ into _Cassidy_. Well done!

Things got considerably crazier on the floor during setbreak -- ain't that always the case! -- and that energy bubble seemed to spill over into the music too. _Estimated_ » _Eyes_ was especially fun tonight, but the jam coming out of drums seemed kind of odd to me. Not anything like a traditional space segment, so I didn't label it that way. More like a noodling, rocking bit that eventually morphed into the slow blues of _Black Peter_. _GDTRFB_ could have been the hot closer, but I felt like they were way too sloppy with the arrangement tonight. Meh!

_Ripple_ was nicely done, and when the lights stayed down after the band left the stage, I knew we were in for another treat. Thanks for taking us out on a rocking note guys!
