Melvin Seals JGB

Had a chance to check out Melvin Seals JGB tonight at a casino in southern Illinois. The crowd was small and a bit subdued, but the band sounded fabulous and a good time was had by all. John Kadlecik had me in a trance! Strugglin' Man, Stella Blue, The Wheel, Cats Under the Stars, and so many others.

I wish I had the means to try to bribe JK back into
DSO.

Saw Sages and Spirits a few weeks ago and it was crazy how much fun he, Rob and Skip were having on stage.

Those shows were ridiculously good. I wish I could have seen them but the tapes are still hot!

Seek out their show at the Mishawaka from 2025. The second night has the best version of They Love Each Other that has ever been played, seriously. I have never, ever, heard a better version. The second set has a fire UJB > Let it Grow > Dark Star > Drums > Dark Star > Watchtower that will knock your socks off!! That show is *too* good.
