Absolutely awesome! Being an old Deadhead, this takes me back to my much younger years and the many, many, many Grateful Dead concerts I was fortunate enough to have attended.

I wish they would have let the steel guitar player cut loose.

The harp playing was awesome. You know, we gripe about the equipment we have to haul, but can you imagine hauling that thing around. We can feasibly haul our stuff around in a little Toyota. She would probably need a full size van, or 18 wheeler. 😁 And how about changing strings on that dude. 😱

My thoughts, exactly. I listened to the whole thing, but heard nothing exceptional or even noteworthy from the steel. Mostly very basic sparse chordal pads and A-pedal stuff, with some A&B thrown in here and there when major chords were obvious. (Not that that's a bad thing, I'm partial to simple A&B myself.)

But for me, there's nothing even close to "mind-blowing" here. But hey...different strokes for different folks. Oh Well More power to 'ya if this is what "floats yer boat"! Very Happy

I like the interplay among the instruments, and the fact that harp is in the mix, giving a different tonality to the ensemble.

Yup. The most enjoyable parts were her voice and harp playing.. And just my love for Grateful Dead music.
