SIMPLE!!

This show is awesome too. The Axilla is flubbed pretty bad, but they follow that up with nailing All Things Reconsidered perfectly. This Reba is one of my favorite Reba’s…a real hidden gem. And the Antelope first set closer scorches. I like 2001->Maze to open the second set. The Simple here is awesome…Trey has some equipment problems in the middle of the jam but once they get straightened out he rewards the crowds patience with a serious rock-and-roll-status guitar solo and follows that up by tearing up Loving Cup, which at the time was a pretty rare tune. The Mike’s here is also awesome. Not as long as some of the other Mike’s from this tour, but they do a really nice job of composing this two-part jam on the fly that bounces between ultra funky for 4 bars and ultra rocking guitar solo. It bounces between these two quite nicely for a few minutes before melting into the dark part of the Mike’s jam.
