Bruce opened, then Bob, then Bob and Bruce - all acoustic, just those two.
It was very enjoyable. Bruce is a too long-winded in that jazz piano way for me, but I do admire his skills. Bob is still an incredible guitarist with his sideways approach to music. He delivered a sweet Peggy-O solo. There was a pleasant Sug Mag, a Terrapin>Darkstar which I was hoping for more, Me and My Uncle (works very well acoustic) and Hell in a Bucket.
All the old deadheads like me loved it. All the youngens didn't get it, even the ones who knew their music. I think they were expecting Furthur and had no real idea of the acoustic side of the Dead, which was their finest stuff really.
