Got to play with Melvin the last night of Jerry week at the Capitol Theater in Port Chester, NY. Talk about cloud nine for a jerryphile like myself!! Sweet, unassuming guy. Here are some vids. Great quality from the Cap themselves - just wish the audio was boosted a bit. My faves of the night were lovelight and That's What Love Will Make You Do. Special thanks to Zach Nugent of Cats Under The Stars and Now with MS and JGB (cangrats Zach!) for his offer to play his Tiger this night - I was a bit nervous so I wanted to stick with the familiar but thank you Zach!

That's exactly what I was thinking. Very organic build setting the 'stage' for the 'master of the universe'! We were very conscious of that this night - set list almost evenly split between JGB and GD and angling toward jgb and more basic GD. Thank you for the kind words!

Nice lead on TWLWMYD.

Thank you Ed! Funny thing on that one - As I was playing it felt a little weird and overdriven - more than usual. Only for me to discover when I rapped it up and switched off the dirt that I had 2 different distortion pedals on. I've done that on occasion in certain spots but i really didn't want it here.
