Ricky was good. He has slowed down just a bit. No more turbo-Ricky. But great music. Ricky tends to evangelize on stage. He was way over the top with his witnessing etc today.

James Nash has changed the band, adding keyboards and losing the great fiddler, Warren Haynes. I think the new sound suits the more rock oriented material James favors. Finally new stuff and it was very good. |
