Tangled Up In Blue

One of the best shows of this tour and maybe the longest too. You get everything you want and more. Jerry simply poured his heart out for this one. It was the first time many folks on the east coast had heard ” Everybody Needs Somebody” and it was an excellent version and quite the number to end the first set. Set two is as good as it is on paper. I mean Shining Star and The Maker in the same set as Reuben & Cherise and a Wonderful World? Heaven on your and the vibe in Portland was as kicked back as it could get.
This show will be released sometime soon or whenever they feel the time is right.

Happy trails!
