Harder They Come, Goin' Down the Road>Morning Dew,
One More Saturday Nite.
MY local Dead band provides the gambit of human emotion
on a drizzly Saturday evening in Baltimore. Franklin's strong.
Althea positively nailed. So Many Roads a work in progress and
the Shakedown a boogie fest to close the first.
The second a chunky delight, China>Rider superb, the Terrapin
stirring, Goin Down the Road a favorite and the Dew inspired.
At set break I was informed Dave Jacobsen, Jerry in an Orioles
cap, is retiring to coastal NC to fish and enjoy the slow life.
He will leave a huge gap in two Dead cover bands in MD and
will be sorely missed. I spent the second set tearfully dancing
in hysterics, reminded of how fragile all things are. If you have
the chance to see him before he hangs it up, I would suggest it.
Next up May 6 at the Rec Room in Towson, MD.
Praise DSO.
