What can I say...three wonderful days in NYC with great friends and music.
Thursday's show was off the charts, as Lefty said to me after the show as we were walking out...very emotional, one for the ages. We agreed that we both had tears when EC was announced.
Friday's first set was hot. Somewhat dissppointed that I heard the same three songs with EC but was slowly turned around. Tight and magical come to mind.
Saturday's show was a great first set. very dissppointed that I heard Reed again, althoiugh a hot version it was the first time in a long time that I heard same tunes in three nights. Oh well one can not complain. Suasn, Bruce, Southside and the Juke horns were great to hear, but I could of used a few more ABB tunes. What a terrific version of Jessica by Hornsby.
Lana, great see you again at BBK. Lefty, absolutly wonderful, very tight and I loved the tune selection...ZZ Top, man oh man!
I gather this wil be my last year of three nights. My old body is tired. I have been coming to the beacon since it all began.
The Milburn hotel was a major dissppointment, say what you want, the Beacon is a lot nicer and bigger. We were crammed into our "suite", no kitchen, well a microwave and a sink, a feezer no bigger then a six pack!
Peace to all.
