Really, really enjoyed it! Band was tight and groovy and you've got some pipes!

But why'd you not maximize them pipes on the "oh curry" part? You got the skills :)

So, my "Mirror Image" friend ;0) ... are you asking in general, or a specific verse? (and thanks for listening.)

Mirror image... I know the reference but can't place it!

Sometimes Jerry would really wail on the "curry" and extended it. you kept it shorter. not bad, just you got the vocal abilities.

"Mirror Image"...remember when I first was a member here "Fret Wilkes" our ages were reversed and there was some other such stuff that I can no longer remember where we became sorth of mirror image brothers. It was a while ago now, but..it happened! :-)

Ah, got you on the "Oh Corey" via Jerry....Oh Coreeeeeeeeeeey" Yeah he testifies beautifully, great singer. This night I think my choices were a combination of interpretation and perhaps a little lack of vocal strength due to the previous nights gig. That chorus is a tad high for me, in fact the whole song sits a little high, but I can push it out ok if I'm fresh.

Thanks again for the comments S6!

I appreciate the comments, thank you sir. MM is a beautiful tune and a joy to play!

By the way our First Show/Last Show numbers are the same: 1973/1994. I'll say that 1973 was WAY...WAAAAY better than 1994! At that last show, as I sat there in the second row right in front of Jerry I thought..."The vibe has left the building". It was sad, but luckily I saw many, many spectacular shows! Ooops..I digress...

All the best.
Fred

I hear ya! '73 was way better than '94. The fall '94 tour had some good shows but it was all down hill from then. I was lucky enough to see many great shows too. Was rough towards the end and I have some mixed feelings about how it went down, but that's for another time.

Holy cow, you have great vox. You cannot tell at all it's at your upper range. Look forward to hearing more from this band of yours!!!

Wow, great rendition. Your voice sounds like a stronger version of Tim Bluhm, which is an awesome thing. Would love to see you guys live sometime.

Thanks Nick, I appreciate you taking the time to listen, and comment. I put up a version of Sugaree from the same same night when I posted MM, so it's there, but it slid down the page a bit if your interested.
