• Jake Brownstein: guitar, lead & harmony vox;
• Daniel Donato: guitar, lead & harmony vox;
• Jason Hann: drums, percussion;
• Bill Kreutzmann: drums;
• Adam MacDougall: keyboards;
• Reed Mathis: bass, lead & harmony vox;
• Kanika Moore: lead & harmony vox.

• Quinn: great song choice; ho-hum execution. Kanika didn't seem familiar enough with the lyrics to get through it without fumbling, nor did she establish clear and consistent melody lines for her vocals.
• Dancing was way better. done in a juicy, slow-cooked late-70's iteration.
• Jack Straw seemed to drag a bit: maybe the Dead & Co influence?
• Loser was fun. It was good to hear KM putting her own stamp on the tune. And DD & JB contributed some very tasty guitar licks!
• Hard Rain ended with an interesting mashup where the band was jamming on the Other One while Reed rattled his way through the last couple verses.
• Piece of My Heart was an unexpected treat, and kept straight to the Cheap Thrills version.

Strict 6 PM curfew, why!?

Whoa! This section is incomplete for now, sorry!

Big thanks to Ting for the photo gallery!

Anaina Hou posted a gallery of shots from Kit Tincher to their IG page. Presumably Kit will be posting his own gallery soon (must be traveling!).
