 Understandably, the energy and tempo flagged a little for _Me and My Uncle_, but the guys picked things back up again for _He's Gone_ and _Cassidy_, both of which featured visual tributes to members of the extended Grateful Dead family who have joined the ancestors. Good to see the organization showing such love! Understandably, the energy and tempo flagged a little for _Me and My Uncle_, but the guys picked things back up again for _He's Gone_ and _Cassidy_, both of which featured visual tributes to members of the extended Grateful Dead family who have joined the ancestors.

-_Bertha_was another highlight, with Mayer spurring the jams on higher and higher until we arrived at the awkward left turn transition into _Good Lovin'_. Sandwiching in a verse or two of _La Bamba_ was a great, venue-appropriate choice, but Bobby's voice seemed kind of gravely to me, and his delivery wasn't nearly as smooth as one could hope for. "More practice, less teleprompter," that's what my granny always said to me.+_Bertha_ was another highlight, with Mayer spurring the jams on higher and higher until we arrived at the awkward left turn transition into _Good Lovin'_.

 Set Two fulfilled the promise of the show opener, talking us all back into the cosmos, and as long as you're willing to overlook the awkward transitions and full stops, I'd argue that it was a darn good set. Solid song selection, a few surprises here and there (Mickey playing piano??), and lots of smiling energy: works for me! Set Two fulfilled the promise of the show opener, talking us all back into the cosmos, and as long as you're willing to overlook the awkward transitions and full stops, I'd argue that it was a darn good set.

 _Casey Jones_ started out slow, like a heavily loaded steam train pulling out of the station, and as the boys kept stoking the engine, she gradually built up a nice head of steam. Midway through I figured they were just about done accelerating the pace, but instead, they piled on jam after jam, like so many shovels of coal, and the mighty engine of the Dead responded with a roar, flying down the tracks with the wheels spinning and the whistle screaming. Watch your speed? Not these hooligans, they were looking to gain escape velocity! _Casey Jones_ started out slow, like a heavily loaded steam train pulling out of the station, and as the boys kept stoking the engine, she gradually built up a nice head of steam.

-<(wip)>+It was interesting to get _the Weight_ for an encore: the boys did a good job! I was surprised to hear a gravel-voiced Jeff Chimenti take lead on the Crazy Chester verse -- and even more surprising to hear Bobby sing falsetto on the following final verse. What kooks!
