Golden Hall
San Diego, California
This is another hot little show. The choice of Bertha out of the gate is not too surprising, but the playing is inspired. And the first set continues to crank with some very nice versions including a very fine Althea.
An odd mix of tunes highlight the pre-Space action, and the boys continue to pace the show with some excellent jams and otherwise tight playing through them. The real highlight of the night, though, comes post-Space as the Dead go into a scintillating Other One before transitioning into a heartfelt and dreamy Stella Blue. The night then finishes off with three rockers to wear out the crowd before they make there way home.
