“At its best, live conjuring of Grateful Dead Music is a joyful, cathartic, limb-enlivening experience. A synergy between musicians, audience, and the inherent memories/associations each participant bring to the dance occurs, shaping each session uniquely. It takes the conscious energy of all involved to fully inhabit this music and its real time execution for such best-nights to happen. While the Kuumbwa Jazz Center is usually a fully seated, focused listening space, It didn’t take half of opener “Feel Like A Stranger” for Pete Sawyer & The Left Hand Monkey Wrench Gang to lift the majority of older hippies, budding young Heads, and curious Kuumbwa regulars to their feet, folks swiftly ready to move like nobody’s watching. To this middle aged GD veteran, it felt like when the boys would open a weekend concert with “Shakedown Street” and one knew everything that followed was gonna be groovy in ways workaday life ain’t."
