| One of the things I really like about JRAD is their inclination to take the ingredients of the Grateful Dead repertoire and then shake them up into new combinations. As much as I love the out-there jams, I also love playing the guessing game "what's about to happen next" as that formlessness begins to resolve into recognizable structures. There were multiple times last night where I thought one or more of the guys were slipping non-GD themes and riffs into the mix, but without knowing better, I suppose that was my brain trying to impose order on the musical randomness by hearing teases of tunes by the Allman Brothers, Led Zeppelin, Talking Heads, and others. Probably should have note the particulars for later investigation, but decided early on that it would be too much trouble to note vague impressions like that when I could barely see my notes about things I was SURE about. | One of the things I really like about JRAD is their inclination to take the ingredients of the Grateful Dead repertoire and then shake them up into new combinations.

| I was less enthused about tonight's second set, but I'm sure that a large part of that feeling is the conflict between my will to dance versus annoyances like the near-constant chit-chat of the party people behind us and off to the outside, as well as the increasing aches and pains of a skeleton no longer able to bounce up and down all night long. As much as I enjoyed listening, there were more than a few moments where I was thinking "Let me up, I've had enough!", and hoping for a really slow recovery song. | I was less enthused about tonight's second set, but I'm sure that a large part of that feeling is the conflict between my will to dance versus annoyances like the near-constant chit-chat of the party people behind us and off to the outside, as well as the increasing aches and pains of a skeleton no longer able to bounce up and down all night long. As much as I enjoyed listening to JRAD's generous serving of music, there were more than a few moments where I was thinking "Let me up, I've had enough!", and hoping for a really slow recovery song. |

| I finally got that slow song at the end of the set when they settled into _I Shall Be Released_: certainly one of Dylan's greatest tunes, and strangely, one never covered by the Grateful Dead. What a great choice! Hopefully none of my neighbors were too annoyed by my singalong during the choruses! I apologize for not making a better record of Joe's closing words, suffice it to say that he was really choked up. | I finally got that slow song at the end of the set when they settled into _I Shall Be Released_: certainly one of Dylan's greatest tunes, and strangely, one never covered by the Grateful Dead.
