I'd been looking forward to this show for awhile, and woo-boy, was it a knock-out! The song selection covered many of Geri's more exuberent moods, mostly Most of the playing was way way way out, and surprisingly, the crowd ate it up and kept hollering for more.

Seems reasonable to guess that one or both of the unidentified tunes might come from Dave's album with Geri, the Life of a Song – all tunes by Geri except for the standards (Lush Life, Dance of the Infidels, & Soul Eyes)
