Iko Iko gets the call and the party is under way. This Little Red Rooster is anything but lazy with Matt Kelly sitting in on Harmonica —  Dupree’s Diamond Blues makes an appearance and you've got to admit, the sweet, sweet jelly's so good.  Me & My Uncle > Big River takes a ride through the country west. Jerry brings everyone back to California with a silky West L.A. Fadeaway. Then Bobby pours everything into Looks Like Rain > Don’t Ease Me In to close a rocking first set.



Touch of Grey opens the second, still well before its breakout moment, and sends the band into one of the longest Playing in the Band performances of the year. This one goes deep before the Rhythm Devils take control.



After Drums > Space, He’s Gone emerges almost unexpectedly. From there, Throwing Stones > Not Fade Away keeps building until an epic Turn On Your Lovelight turns Berkeley into a full-blown celebration.



U.S. Blues anchors the night. Three shows into the run, the band has a steady hand on the till, and 1985 continues to deliver. Enjoy! Martin Knott
