My first shows in the PNW and man o man were they a hoot and a half. 6/23 has been released (DaP 44 - thanks Dave!) and 6/24 was another sweet one. Coincidentally was thinking about listening to it last few days. This is a great 1st Set. Sweet Ultramatrix via Charlie Miller for anybody who cares to hear the whole enchilada.

And Little Feat opened? Nice!
This Loose Lucy kills me.
That is Garcia to me.
Cheers

2 huge days of great music. Went with my girl and we had blast. Loose Lucy was awesome - I remember having that wowza feeling when they played it. Enjoy your Sunday.
