The first 5 songs had a second sax player,forget his name(knew I should`ve written it down)Gerard something,something Gerard.These 3 shows were a blast.Plus throwing Portland in there made for a very nice vacation.I cant thank Mando enough for his help in Seattle.I had to have some surprise factor for Portland.After Saturdays show,we went to the Highway 99 club for the 44`s.Conrad didn`t get up on stage,but Dave joined them for 2 or 3 tunes.A very nice bonus for the 44`s crowd.Buzz,buzz,buzz was the first time time I`ve seen done since my very first LL show almost 31 years ago.Didn`t get my requested `Killing floor`,but I`ll take the Hendrix encores.If the band does this the same week every year,I`ll be there.This fell during a week with no work(boat show open in Boston)If you cant make the Fillmore,I highly recommend this trip.It avoids the holiday money crunch many incur.Hotels are reasonable and rental cars are cheap for any side trip you may take.And finally I want thank all the cool people I met at these shows.Steve J,Jessie,etc,,I`m sure Steves recordings will kick ass.Dont miss them.LIFE IS GOOD.
