Keith on piano is so ethereal, as usual. On the flip side his playing the house Wurlitzer organ on truckin and the Wang Dang Doodle Jam at the closing of the show. Was a sweet concert till Casey Jones. Talk about a bummer in the middle of the song. Followed by a 4 minute One more Saturday night. Their hearts just were not in it after the incident that stopped the show. Enjoy!
