## Notes

_Playin' in the Band_ is a fine statement for opening the show, and seemed a terrific augury of things to come, what with a ten-or-twelve minute jam that got pretty far out before resolving into _Viola Lee Blues_. Looking back, it's possible that a single arrow broken/forced/uninterrupted segue ('>') might be more appropriate for that transition than the double angle guillemet ('»') I typically use for a regular/natural/smooth segue. I've mixed both symbols into the setlist above. Feel free to disagree with my usage upon listening to a recording. I don't mind being told I'm wrong! _Here Comes Sunshine_ was an unexpected treat; they only performed it twice last year, and I missed both of those shows.

Second set started out just fine, but lost energy by the time they got to _Rider_, killing the usual joy I expect from that piece. _China Doll_ was a treat, but didn't do anything to rectify the general feeling of narcosis. _Eyes_ was slow (as opposed to loose and lazy, like the amazing versions from 1974). _Deal_ was decent. Drums started out great, but after about five minutes, it too petered out into less interesting, less energetic pounding. The jam on _A Love Supreme_ during space was very loose -- no vocals or anything, and the riff was tossed back and forth between the players without ever coming to the front as a fully agreed upon statement of purpose. _The Wheel_ was incredibly listless and slow. Stuck in the mud! The reggae jam was interesting, but didn't really develop or go too far. Following up that non-burner with another slow tune probably wasn't the brightest idea. _Good Love_ was kind of sloppy. Mickey seemed out of sorts from the end of drums to the end of the set ... his body language seemed extra grumpy ... and he flipped his nylon brushes onto the ground as he stepped out of his kit as if to say, "whatever, I'm outta here," once _Good Love_ ended. Mick was also the last person to return to the stage for the encore, though in all fairness, he was the only one who hadn't taken any sort of break since the set began. I was happy to hear John sing us the elegiac _BMR_ -- it's a good tune to end the night, sort of a hug and kiss goodbye.

Extra special thanks to our pals Doug and Alexandra, who let us crash their seats in sec 102 for most of the night!
