fantastic nite of holy music with superb & gifted guests & thanks Butch for moogis--a great experience.
And,after all he's gone through in the last too many years,it sure was good to see our long time neighbors,Levon,Larry,Brian,Teresa....come a a long way from the flamingo in west saugerties,Levon & The Barnburners,the fire,the $$ hits,etc.
...equally to see the rise to these heights for the ABB & to have,to today,40 years later, recaptured the spiritual essence & energy & intent of the original lineup.
the interplay between Warren & Derek,the drumming swinging away & moving the engine, spurred on by the bass & Gregg's perfect B-3 & piano fills & colorings...& of course,his truly uniquely moving voice,a growl,yet sweet as honey
makes me 17 again...whole....we are blessed to have this music--seeing my teen idols,& now accomplished musicians i deeply admire,Gregg & levon together on stage was,for me a once in a lifetime experience ..unless ya saw the encore at Watkins Glen...
