DEAD and COMPANY in ALBUQUERQUE 7/11/18

Honestly, I had low expectations, but this show was pretty great. The "Mississippi Half-Step," "Here Comes Sunshine," "Slipknot!," and "Drums" were definite highlights in my book. Bill Walton was there, but declined the selfie because he was deep in the groove on "Crazy Fingers." I know you all want to ask, so I will just say that, surprisingly, JM managed to not annoy me (^_^)

Ha! Looks like I'm photobombing Mickey and these nice folks!

Me and Oteil
