Figured I'd start this Tollstock '15 segment off with the anarchic drums/ space portion of the program that the kids dove into while the rest of us were finishing the post-Sautrday-supper clean up. So commenced the general slide into the late-night portion of program when, as Levon Helm said, "the songs would get a little bit juicier and the jokes'd get a little funnier, and the prettiest dancer would really get down and shake it a few times." Well, I dunno about all that, but the heading for the ditch can be darned fun.
The Expanded Honcho (i.e., with Charlie on actual lead guitar) then dove into a version of "I've Changed" that we probably could've stretched out quite a bit longer. It was sounding pretty good in the afternoon but definitely improved after the sun went down, as usually happens when everybody's lost all self-regard and is pulling in the same direction. After that follows an extremely loose version of Taj Mahal's "She Caught the Katy" (a song I actually learned about via the Blues Brothers, for what that's worth, and which Roady may not have previously heard at all). Anyway, Roger was on board and in fine hollerin' form, and the song probably could also have gone on for a bit more. Ah well... next time, I guess. The only question is where's that horn section when we need it!?
