With plenty of energy and a slew of bust-outs, the tour was one to remember, containing the legendary Box of Rain in Hampton. But a closer look reveals why this may not have been either the show or the song of the tour. Be sure to check out all six shows!From the podcast:Virginia fillies start looking good. But when haven’t they? And this set's looking better as time passes; perhaps the third night’s the charm. Brent takes the reins and leads us on a pleasant ride across a vast expanse of possibilities. It’s enough to make heads bob and limbs wiggle. And best of all, he knows when to quit. He transitions skillfully to a wailing slide that heightens the energy, adding even more intensity. Oh, the howlers are out, perfectly timed with a Garcia run that pierces the sky and resonates in our heads at just the right moment. That’s a sign for sure. The groove is found, and we’re here to ride it—spellbound. Check it out.📚 LINKS & RESOURCES🔗 Follow along with music on: Relisten🔗 Navigate The Series🗺 NAVIGATE THIS TOUR🎯 New to the show?
