## Notes

First set was hot! Short but solid. Completely unhurried: very much a '73 vibe IMHO, but that don't mean much. Nice group energy! A few folks that I talked to at break whined about the long breaks between songs, or the lack of segue, but c'mon, it was the first set ... you can't just launch everyone into deep space from the get go. Sometimes it's nice to stop and take a look at the scenery first!

Set two was also great fun, but with completely different energy (newer songs, faster tempos, plenty of jamming). I'm glad I could be there for the fun!

Fender has a nifty little article about the [Alligator guitar](https://www.fender.com/articles/gear/iconic-mods-how-jerry-garcias-alligator-strat-earned-its-claws) posted on their website; Jambase [reports](https://www.jambase.com/article/lebo-stu-allen-jerry-garcia-guitar-phil-lesh-friends-terrapin-crossroads) that Stu and Lebo played on it at the 3/1 show too.
