"Show number 3 of the nine-show Garden run, and by now the band is fully settled in. Hey Pocky Way opens and it’s another party at the Garden.. Brent’s vocals are soulful and loose as the New York faithful and the band start moving the energy around.



Minglewood and Mississippi Half-Step keep the energy high before the set takes a turn around a beautiful corner with a To Lay Me Down  Jerry’s voice just sparkling. The Masterpiece and Bird Song  are just so crisp and perfect, Jerry’s backups on Masterpiece are immediate and forceful, don’t miss it.



The second set is loaded: China Cat Sunflower > I Know You Rider, Ship of Fools, and a sick Estimated Prophet > Terrapin Station > that launches the place to orbit.



D/S > Dear Mr. Fantasy > Hey Jude > Sugar Magnolia just to put an exclamation point on the night.  What more could you ask for…maybe a Baby Blue to close down another stellar performance. Enjoy." - Martin Knott
