Whatever the Dead achieved in the first set, they exceeded it and then some in the second. The Gimme Some Lovin’ that opens the action is bass-heavy, rowdy, and almost raunchy; Phil and Bobby lay it on thick. Then we get a neat little China> Rider that you can just tell is setting up something really fine. And that bit of righteousness to follow is a monster Playin’ which jams out into deep-space terrain before the drummers take over and deliver a massive session. From there, Space emerges and takes things onto trippy ground before everyone suddenly coalesces around The Wheel, which is its own nice little nugget. Then an obligatory Playin’ reprise spills out, clearing the way for a top-shelf China Doll. Finally, an almost reserved, but still joyous as all get out, Sugar Mags closes out the set with lots of Healy effects. The Touch encore is also a solid effort that surely sent the fans home thinking about making the trek to Saratoga Springs for the next tour date two days later.
