all I can say is; go to the show!

Jorma was in fine form. Played superbly. Sounded great (and no mumbles).

Jack was in fine form, too. Physically, a little more reserved than in the past. (Both he and JAck were seated throughout).

WHAT'S THAT SMELL LIKE FISH, OH BABY?!

Band was solid. (If I had to complain, my only complaint is that the harmonica was a little louder than needed, but I think that was a PA mix thing.) The harp was a main instrument at this show -- reminded me of a Papa John-ish contribution --- even a little racous at times.
