Don't ask me how it's even possible, but I think this may have been the first time I have ever seen The Jones Gang. The fantastic first set started with a funky "Shakedown Street" followed by a sick "Walkaround" jam then back to "Shakedown" before transitioning into "Samson and Delilah".
Second set included "Crazy Fingers", "Good Lovin" and "Wharf Rat", and "Casey Jones", all classics.
Stu Allen, who is an amazing guitarist and sounds a lot like Jerry, has the most impressive of credentials, a full time gig with Melvin Seals and the Jerry Garcia Band. The rest of the band was great as well, with two drummers and an outstanding female backup singer. Chris Castino of the Big Wu sat in for a few songs during second set.
It was a great night of music and I would absolutely recommend The Jones Gang to any Grateful Dead fan.
