That's really the key.  I only got to see them 13 times before Jerry passed.  Simply not enough.  I can absolutely see why someone that had seen them 100 times wouldn't have that same draw to D&C.  For me it's awesome.  I do agree with you on Bobby.  You kinda have to hope for a good setlist.  His need to "sing" some of Jerry's songs is too much.  Saw them at XL last fall and Loose Lucy and Black Peter were ruined, in my opinion.  You could barely tell what song they were playing.  Not a huge fan of him singing other stuff like Morning Dew or Ramble on Rose, but I've made my peace with some of them.

Love Mayer.  He is the engine that drives this band.  And when it's a Mayer song, you can tell this is really HIS band.  To me it's a personal thing because I did not get enough of the real thing.  This is - BY FAR - the closest to the real thing in the last 23 years.  Mayer actually takes up the space left by Jerry in a way nobody has come close to.

Alas, I won't be in Hartford, but I will be in Buffalo and Ohio next week.  Cannot wait.
