    <reviewbody>Interesting show, this one.  Since drummer Steve Johnson had broken his wrist, the band had tapped Mike Knoll to fill in just a few days before.  Mike does a good job fitting in with the band, but the band isn't as tight as usual, as you'd expect.  Still, the music is great, and Jason plays with his usual ferocity, laying waste to any preconceived notions about what a harmonica can sound like.

There are two real gems in this show.  The first, an impromptu version of "Summertime", with just Jason on harp and Buckweed on bass, is just beautiful.  The other is a searing, angry version of "Can't Close Our Eyes &gt; Get Up Stand Up &gt; Can't Close Our Eyes".  No mistaking the sentiment behind this one.

Even if you don't download the whole show, make sure you don't miss these two songs.</reviewbody>

    <reviewbody>I've downloaded about 10 live recordings of Jason here and this one is my favorite. After listening to it on my iPod for months, I finally burned it on CD and have it in my car stereo for weeks now.&#13;

The sound is brilliant and the band plays really great. </reviewbody>
