McArthur Court, University of Oregon

Eugene, Oregon

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

This is a phenomenally hot show from the great basketball venue at the University of Oregon. The Other One is bright and beautiful, particularly the last Cryptical with Jerry’s magnificent guitar, Billy’s drums, and Phil’s sparse but heavy bass. And then the boys taking it booming right into a sporty Sitting On Top of the World. The Lovelight is another real treat with Pig rapping and balling before a raging, joyous, cacophonous ending. And just a song later, the band launches into one of the very best Dark Stars of ’69. On this moody, ranging version, Jerry who is at the helm the entire time, taking it into deep dark corners of the universe.
