Agreed on all counts. There was ample dancing space up front. Very intimate, you’d run into the same people in the bowl that you had just broken bread with at camp. Sound quality was awesome, though the equipment wasn’t necessarily “vintage accurate” as they’re not touring with the big rig. Skip on Fender Jazz bass both nights. Cassidy sandwich really worked, Eyes 73 style into a raging GSET with St Stephen quotes was arguably the highlight. I’m not that big on Low Spark but this rendition was intense, with Jeff lifting up the Bean like the rockstar he is! Yet there he was with us in the pit for Dave Nelson’s set. Excellent GD family vibes at the Hog Farm like only DSO can really bring in this day and age.

Rob B on the bass guitar… Tom Ryan will man the Hammond. Looks like a good time!

Jeff, Barraco, and the drummers with organ and bass from the longest running LA Gd tribute band - less than 20 bucks even with service charge - how can you go wrong? oh right - it could get cancelled. well, I got tickets, so fingers crossed! https://themintla.com/paradise-waitsft-members-of-dark-star-orchestra-cubensis/

They love to play. It shows. Praise DSO.

With the caveat that I even surprised myself a bit that I just researched this... 🧐 All Over Now never preceded Loose Lucy, but it followed it twice in 1990. Black Throated Wind did indeed follow Loose Lucy twice in 1974 (and preceded it a couple times in the 90s). In addition, Johnny B Goode followed Stella once in 1973 and again in 1974. And Black Muddy River encored at 2 shows in 1989 where Johnny B Good closed the set. Finally, Greatest Story followed Gimme Some Lovin' twice in 1985... That one is pretty surprising, but Gimme opened several shows in its early days in '85/'86. But certainly Dino knew all that.
