I even snagged the pick they used when Jerry Garcia played Again... 😁 It couldn't have been any better. The crew in those front rows seriously deserve props. They knew every word and sang from the absolute bottom of their souls, even the newer stuff. Same goes for the other performers—huge respect all around. Honestly, such a killer zero day. Might even be enough to make me forgive T-Mobile US for bleeding me dry all these years. ☕
I was positioned right in the middle of the stage, about four rows back, and let me tell you, the people in the very first row totally grossed me out! Nobody would move an inch, and half of them didn't even know the lyrics—just pathetic, honestly. 😠
I barely managed to wedge myself into the front row just in time for Nutshell, and thank God I did, because otherwise, there was no way I was catching a pick 😁 Jerry's 😁 I don't know if he actually played it, but that thing looks pretty beat up 😁
The setlist was perfect; I wouldn't have changed a single thing 😁 and they were absolutely stellar. Almost like the old days! Obviously, nobody can ever truly replace Layne Staley, but Duvall is a worthy successor—you can tell she isn't some poser trying to mimic Layne; she’s her own person, yet somehow still manages to pay tribute to him. Mike McCready and Jerry Garcia are absolute legends! I didn't really get a good look at Sean Kinney, since I wasn't exactly tall enough to see over the crowd 😁
All in all, screw anyone saying they were bad, because they absolutely crushed it! 😁
( that's a joke, but it's not far from the truth 🤣 )
