Furthur rolled into MSG last Thursday night for the fall stop of their 2011 tour. Bobby and Phil may be the only original members playing in this line-up so it's really not the Dead, but it is a pretty good group just the same. In fact, aside from a few Phil shows back around 2000, I have to say this is pretty much my favorite post-Jerry lineup.
The first set was just so much fun. I took my son for the first time and he loved it. Kind of a Best of the Dead set. The second set really stretched out a bit with a fine The Other One > St. Stephen. It was even great to hear the Disco Dead of Shakedown Street. Larry Campbell guested on a number of songs and his always fine playing was a wonderful addition.
Here's a photo of the setlist...
This was my first time seeing this line-up. My last couple of experiences were less than great (Dead @ Nassau 2009 and Ratdog at Westbury) but this might draw me back again next year. This was a good time folks.
