Some of Bobby's best stuff since early 70's Weir/Barlow. Gallop on the Run is an absolutely beautiful song, among others on the album. Got 5th row for show coming up in Cincinnati in January! WOOHOO! Thank you Bobby for coming back to Ohio!!

just be aware it is not "Grateful Dead", but is very good. The songs played well live as well...saw the show in Dallas in April. Good show

This album has been haunting me in the month since Bobby left us. It all sounds like what he wanted to leave behind as a testament.
And absolutely in line with his statements about contemplating. without any trepidation whatsoever, whatever should come next.

"One More River to Cross"’ ; let’s hope he made it over.

“Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you
Hey, hey, hey, you rolling river”; his aching voice on this pierces my heart

“I'm bound to get gone, I'm about to be free”; we sure hope so

“The ladder climb to the realms of light”
“Goodnight, all you cowboys”; aaaah, thanks for the memories

“And here are the ladders of light up to heaven
But blue mountain is all I need now”
