Last night was the first show of Furthur's Summer/Fall Tour 2013. The venue was fairly empty in the upper deck which was a surprise considering how well they do at MSG. I was a little apprehensive after Bobby's "illness" back in May and the show did start out a little hesitantly with a very ordinary Stranger>Rag>Hell in a Bucket. Things did pick up a bit in the second half of the set with a pretty darn good Cold Rain & Snow > Friend of the Devil > Jack Straw.
The second set was much better IMHO. The playing was a bit looser and it kind of flowed really well. In particular the Uncle John's Band > The Wheel > Uncle John's Band just killed. Here is the complete setlist.

I'm a little bummed the tour has so few dates this year but I am looking forward to Phil with John Scofield at Gathering of the Vibes in a couple of weeks. Maybe we'll get an MSG show added around Thanksgiving.
