![]() If it were'nt for this being the last show ever, I would have considered this and the previous night 2 of the worst concerts they ever played besides Phil taking charge of a sinking ship. As ironic and appropriote a closer as Black Muddy River was, Jerry was severly strained vocally and missed all the guitar ques not too mention Vince did'nt play any of the fills. I really wanted Shakedown>Samson to be special like so many from yester year but it just did'nt happen. Many people rave about So Many Roads but to me it seemed like even with teleprompters, Jerry struggled with it and kept soloing because he was lost. The only moments that seemed like there was a hint of Jerry's presence was Box Of Rain and Sugar Magnolia. I think Mr Lesh knew that a serious trainwreck of a concert was under way and he stepped up to the plate. His guitar playing was dismal, forgot words to every song and genuinely looked ready to pack it in. ![]() It was literally like watching the shell of what used to be, struggling to keep it together for his last gasp. Certainly the rest of the band members sounded great but my take on Jerry was he has already checked out for good (incidently I felt that Vince finally came into his own at the very end). After witnessing the shows from this tour at The Palace in Auburn Hills (the best shows of the entire summer tour from hell IMHO), the Deer Creek debacle and the the night before, I felt utterly disappointed.
