Saw him in a small club and he finished his set in the audience, trying to hug almost every person there… blessed to be in his presence, however briefly.

Saw the Horse in Golden Gate Park, opening w/a rambling take on “love and only love” where he didn’t even bother singing until six minutes in. As it finally ended, there was some ghostly feedback, I turned to my friend and said “holy shit…Powderfinger”. And so it was…

October faves:

Snocaps
Besnard Lakes
Telephone Numbers
Flock of Dimes
Dream Syndicate (medicine show box)
#chopsfives

One of my all time favorite albums by anybody🫡

Blessed to see the warmup show in Santa Barbara… still can get on top of “Helter Skelter” 🤯

Sidenote: (…ends regular set w/let it be/live and let die/hey Jude) Does he piss himself laughing when he does a setlist?!

Overwhelming.

Absolutely! Amazing place to visit anytime, but especially now. Enjoy 👻

Early arrival to assess the ‘security situation’ w a jaundiced but practiced eye. Back out the door to smoke until the bell rings. Cross-country flight, wouldn’t dream of checking a bag, zero error margin. So, both? 😝

For pure jangle, they never topped “Bandwagon” tbh 🙃

Loved Stay True 👍
