What a terrific Beacon run. Was blessed to see 3 shows in 8 nights. Saw the two Saturday shows and last Friday as well. This version of the ABB is among the top bands I have heard in many decades of listening hard.
There has so much been written in the GB already, this GB has added to the electricity and fun a lot of Peachheads felt during the run and the anticipation of it. Though I am on the outer fringe looking in -this is a really nice group.
It was fun to see / hear Derek more out in front. See him interacting with Marc, Gregg and Warren and everyone. He is so gifted and seems very giving on stage. I haven't heard a better slide player live since 1971.
Gregg's voice continues to sound better and stronger. He had the organ going in the mix a bit stronger at times as well. Was it my imagination or did Gregg applaud Derek a bit after Saturday's "Trouble No More" ?
Lots of passion in Warren's playing and singing. While he is always terrific, I thought this past Saturday, he was at the very top of his game. I hope he and DT stay with the band a very long time.
I read a post about a week ago from someone who went to a show and studied Butch. I watched Butch play hard, lots of motion and passion there too.
Jaimoe looked to be smiling more than I have seen him in a while. Please keep poundin em Jai.
We love the Band - what can I say.
See you at the DB&GS show at BBKing's.
