Chris Robinson Brotherhood, 07-07-17 Oregon Country Fair (Late Show)



The Live Review:
Alright, now here are some words about the late show CRB played at the Oregon Country Fair on 7/7.  
7/7/17: New Cannonball Rag opener.  
7/7/17: Tony doing some serious work during the jam section to make things more dynamic than usual. Great version.  
7/7/17: Great second solo from Adam to round out the jam.  
7/7/17: > Tomorrow's Blues.
7/7/17: Especially reverb-heavy drop into the post-lyrics jam this time. Band sounds really locked-in.  
7/7/17: Reflections on a Broken Mirror. Fantastic ballad tune.  
7/7/17: Behold the Seer is next. Love hearing this one live, and more electric than on the album.  
7/7/17: The little funk breakdown in the middle is especially great, and Chris's harmonica outro.  
7/7/17: Try It Baby next.  
7/7/17: Neal and Adam both getting some surprising mileage out of Try It Baby. This is great.  
7/7/17: Meanwhile In the Gods next. This is one of my favorite CRB tunes lately.  
7/7/17: Great spacey, Floyd-like jam gives way to a funky outro. Meanwhile... getting significantly jammed out here.  
7/7/17: Neal builds the whole thing up into a crashing guitar finale before >     Shake Rattle and Roll.
7/7/17: Loving this setlist.  
7/7/17: Neal just laid down a fantastic solo in Shake Rattle and Roll.  
7/7/17: Ain't It Hard But Fair  
7/7/17: Features an exceptionally high-energy scat session between Chris and Neal in the middle.  
7/7/17: I Ain't Hiding! Another one of my favorites.  
7/7/17: An especially hot disco-funk jam emerging from the tail end of I Ain't Hiding.  
7/7/17: > Narcissus
7/7/17: Chris really attacking the vocals in this version.  
7/7/17: Vibration and Light Suite.  
7/7/17: Extra-spacey deep dive immediately after the lyrics in this version.  
7/7/17: Jam > Ride
7/7/17: Vibration > Ride is a pretty crazy combination. That's nearly 30 minutes of jam.
7/7/17: Everyone firing on all cylinders at the moment at the 9:00 mark in Ride.  
7/7/17: Great vocal breakdown and end set.  
7/7/17: Rock and Roll encore.  
7/7/17: I love when CRB plays Rock and Roll or After Midnight. So many good Phish memories :)  
7/7/17: Fantastic setlist for that one-set show, and some serious jams in Meanwhile, Vibration, and Ride. Good times.
