Dick's Review | It was truly amazing to experience yet another of the kind of concert where one feels like it was the best it has ever been! It is difficult to decide whether 10-20 or 10-21 was the hotter night overall. If I had to choose one, I would have to go with this show. Mainly because of the awesome rendition of The Other One - The best version since 1970. Only 10-15-76 is in this class! Preceded by a real treat and total surprise: A guy playing harmonica coming on stage during the end of the percussion jam and leading the band into a new yet incredibly familiar chord pattern that developed into I Got My Mojo Workin'. Also Hamza El Din’s appearance makes this night extra special. To top everything off, I finally experience a U.S. Blues that has me screaming with excitement. Stella Blue is the finest i’ve ever heard it performed (Scratched out: only 7-18-76 Orpheaum is as moving) | |

Dick's 2nd Review | It is really neat the way Weir is playing so emphatically on slide guitar during this period of their transitions. |
