And We Bid You Good Night
Everybody is either making love...Or else expecting rain
We made it in time to see Weir, Hornsby, and Marsalis. It started rough...with Bobby on an acoustic that sounded awful. Lots of noodling into "Birdsong." Some very nice playing by Branford, but it was too loose in many spots. This went on for a while, and then Bruce brought out The Noisemakers. What a tight band. I recall "Jack Straw," "Scarlet Begonias," "Rainbow's Cadillac (or however you spell it)" "Across the Great Divide," "Frankin's Tower," and "Hell in a Bucket." That's where my memory stalls. A highlight was seeing Bruce sing The Dead's "Loser." Some superlative jamming in the show involving real risk-taking as opposed to just playing long solos. Bruce's drummer, Booby Reed on sax, and Branford on sax all got the MVP award. I especially dug it when Branford broke out the soprano sax. He even quoted some Coltrane. Nice.
