Utterly unobjectionable show from start to finish. It is just.. all good. It is an average (of it's clime and time) performance and super slick sound which alleviate all fear of the unknown. They try and fail to open with 1 Mor Sat Nyt and it morphs into Jack Straw almost unbeknownst. But they quickly settle down and deliver song after song in unaffected, disinfected demeanor. Dire Wolf is the prime example. Save for one slight verbal mishap Jerry delivers a passionate performance.

Try this Standing on for size. The style of playing 'auggie' refers to at this show isn't necessarily a style per se, but a new toy Jerry broke out at this run. It's known as a pitch-bender, I think. It's a floor pedal, but with a swivel-pedal, like a wah-wah. Jerry was goofing around with it so much during Jack Straw, it sounds like he's drunk.
