Nugs tv is steaming the show.
A fine band tonight although I'm wondering how Robert Randolph will do playing Dead music...in general I'm no fan of his and I couldn't understand how Phil might insert him into the music...he tends to overplay stuff...he's kinda like the Popper harmonica of pedal steel.
Jackie Green is in the band tonight as well.
Well,I'm still looking forward to the show.The last stream Phil did featured John Kadelick and Stanley Jordan-they were awesome particularly the 3/17 show which was excellent.(can be found on YouTube).

“Shakedown Street” Opener at the Cap
Many thanks .......enjoyed re-living that this morning. Great show. Preservation Hall Jazz Band really brought it for the six songs they sat in for ......special night ......
Was the older sax player part of Preservation?
He did a lot of jaming, always up front while the other sax player stayed back with the rest of the Preservative horns.
I think he was introduced as...Gabriel. If you know please share, thanks! ( of course I am not referring to Karl)
Correct ......
Charlie Gabriel
