There was a time when every gig was reviewed. Now no gigs are reviewed. So I’m trying to get back to that earlier time, gig by gig…checked out Dean & Britta playing Galaxie 500, sure glad I did!
Loved this, thanks! I saw the Dunedin show. The VU connection, of course--but I love that glimpse of the Dead you mentioned, would never had said so but now I totally hear it! They keep it loose, in just the right way. That's the dreaminess the VU never had.
Hey, thanks. Your review is great! I’m trying to get along to things, and review again, I’m a burnt out old newspaper hack; hobbled by Robbie Williams and the promoters of New Zealand, and the closed mindedness of newspaper editors. But I’m learning to skip again thanks to Substack!
