nTelos Pavillion @ Harbor Center, Portsmouth, VA
Recording SHNID 10953
Media SHN   3 discs
Notes Neumann KM140's Ferguson - sound quality somewhat thin from this outdoor venue, but no flaws worth noting. Show is a bit below average. Set 1 has Bob and Billy joining in so you get a preference for Bob tunes and maybe a tad less typical tight jamming than otherwise might have happened. Truckin played with a slow loopy beat. Set 2 has a poor spacey jam before "She Said". This happens sometimes with this line-up where the Southern guitar style doesn't produce to my ears nice open abstract sounding jams when they attempt it. Also, I though Phil's vocal treatment of TOO didn't come off very well. The other songs are standard, well played versions.
