Notes:
- The theme of the night occurred when Larry M.
stated to Kevie that he was cut off and he
unplugged Kevie for the rear eight speakers. A
bold move, and Kevie was a true mench about it
and gave it a try. His words were something like,
"Just so you can't say I was a dick about
it, I'll try it but you won't like it."
Fortunately, everyone seemed to like it.
- It will be real interesting to hear Kevie's
interpretation of the move, because it really
does clip his wings quite a bit but, a different
feel was certainly in the room. It was much more
open, nicer, relaxed and not so loud, even though
I do have splitting headache as I write this
stupid thing at 12:30 in the morning when I have
to get up at 7:00. What am I and Idiot? I must
be. Ahhhh! In any case, I'm sure Kevie's change
in sound is going to be fodder for the wordy.
- Jonathan showed up for maybe the first two songs
and left beneath the breeze, underneath the
weather, preparing for the storm that was to hit
Cone. That will teach him not to pledge
allegiance to Deadstein but to the Yankees. They
would understand and would respond to and respect
that.
- Dennis was missing for the room and except for
Menaker's Jonathan, a guest wasn't to be found,.
Brotman only made it through he first set.
Remember, we play on Monday next week.

First
Set:
- The Getaway and Hard to Handle were rough around
the edges but held there own. It wasn't until the
Jed where the night turned. It was
"sweet." By the trird verse of the
Uncle, we kicked the music into high gear. It was
crisply played, not so sweet but Uncle/River
isn't supposed to be. The transition into the
River was just like a Swiss watch and the River
sustained itself well. The Ship of Fools and
Bobby McGee really accentuated the sweetness of
the evening. Kevie thought we would be in trouble
during a Help on the Way with him only coming out
of 7 speakers. Kevie played extra quietly,
probably with the thought that he'll show us
guys, but we showed him. We all quieted down to
his level which provided him the same dominance
he is used to but with less. It worked out well,
a challenge to our own restrain and self-control.
Estimated remained in comfortable beat throughout
into a very forced Don't Ease Me In. With a
Sicilian pie still cooking, we endeavored into an
extra Let it Grow. It worked and had a very
interesting ending to close the set on a spacey
theme.

Second
Set:
- Dancin' in the Streets was really nice, not
powerful but very welled played. Gindoff did his
impression of Bruce Kosslett, of the Jets, in
orchestrating Deadstein's coming back into the
chorus to end the song. Must Have been the Roses
was beautiful, Brent better have liked it. The
next three songs were not recorded unfortunately.
The Miracle, from a dead start, brought Deadstein
up after the Roses and lead us right back down,
way down, as we went into the Peter. It got
lusciously sweet during it, playing a Black Peter
the way it is supposed to be with care and
compassion. The Johnny B. Goode was a great
closer because it reminded you of the opener as
you were playing it. tying the evening into a
complete bow. With time to spare, a very mellow
Knockin' on Heaven's Door was indicative of the
music played for the evening. Although quiet and
contained, the music was not boring.
