Two highly enjoyable shows:
1. Dave Alvin with Jimmie Dale Gilmore
2. Jesse Dayton (at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Cleveland)

+1 on moe. I saw them a couple of weeks ago, what a great live band! I learned later that the bass player recently had cancer treatment, which makes the 3.5 hour show that they played even more impressive. I went to Dead and Company the next day. I really enjoyed that show too. I also saw Robert Plant and Neil Young at the Arroyo Seco festival last month, in the pit up close to the stage. I especially enjoyed Neil Young's nearly 20 minute versions of Like an Inca and Cortez the Killer. Next up is Drive by Truckers and Tedeschi Trucks at Red Rocks. |
Hi boxer12 - I really liked Mayer’s guitar playing and singing. My friend who is a longtime Deadhead said Mayer plays "faster" than Jerry, like he is fitting in more notes. I’m more of a novice Dead fan than you or my friend, but in my opinion John can really jam and improvise. Here’s a high quality Nugs clip of Hell in a Bucket from the concert I attended (you have to fast forward for 8:37 minutes to get to the beginning of the song; and then John begins to jam around 15:30): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZJY71fWHM4 |
