A LoloYodel 2 cam remix (with my habitual thanks & gratitude, see below).

LoloYodel Notes : 
The 1st of a two night stand at Hampton under the disguise as "The Warlocks".  These two shows were often described as simply magical.

This 1st set is sound, straight forward, almost excellent but arguably not exceptional.  
The "Foolish Heart", which opens, is thorough and heart felt but the next 3-4 songs seem to have difficulty getting off the ground
(or into rythym) with notably a Candyman which, despite the "get me my 'ol guitar" (as Jerry had pulled out
his old "Wolf" from the closet since the days of 1977-1979), lacks the full magic and with fumbled lyrics,
technical problems ...  Nonetheless, 
"Big River" has some stomp
"Stagger Lee" shines and
"Queen Jane" is dynamically and entertainingly sustained by good 'ol Bobby Weir.
"Bird Song" is open and aerial and 
"Promised Land" brings a promising rockin' finish to this 1st set.

This 2nd set starts off with a huge bang with a BIG "Help on the Way ~ slipknot ~ Franklin's Tower" which seems to
have all the necessary energy and inspiration (in addition to it being played for the 1st time since Sept 1985). 
The "Eyes of the World" which follows, after "Victim", is very strong, lively & dynamic.  The "Need a Miracle" out
of space is rockin' with Jerry swaying to the beat !  This segues into "The Wheel" (on target) then "Gimme Some Lovin'".  
Although Weir turns to the drummers shrugging his shoulders, as if to say "not this time, sorry, Jer's decision", 
this is also nailed and hammered.  This set ends with a pristine and glissening "Morning Dew".  "Bid
You Goodnight" encore (only the 4th time played since New Years 1978 !)
