Our Dead of the Day at the Knickerbocker Arena in Albany, New York comes from that phenomenal Spring Tour of 1990. The whole show is bright and airy with lots of bluegrass inspired picking, blues riffs, and sweet vocals. The first set starts off good, but really gets rolling with a magisterial Just a Little Light, which includes Brent’s inspired vocals. A little later, the jams in Big Railroad Blues are fluid and clean with an upbeat and sharp style. Other highlights of the first half include Black Throated Wind and Row Jimmy, but it is the Blow Away at the end that is the true star of the set. After a sparkly first half of the tune, Brent busts out some serious Pig-style rapping, and the audience reacts…
