so so happy to hear this show again! one of the finest ratdog shows I've been to. funky and jazzy in the best way. the big river jam is why I love live music. super fantastic show, and recording!

now off to find the monkey and the engineer that bobby and keller played during the opening set : )

last show of run for me, Central Park, Boston & Twin River. just before exit on highway came over rise & there was The Tour Bus on side of interstate. Pulled over and talked to Dr Groove with grill up on back of bus. Serpentine belt shit the bed & bus was over heating. Offered help said was all set . Band in bus with Dennis. Waved & off I went. Told Hippy Bill where bus was, just before exit for Twin. Hung out in lot with heavy security. Began to ask why did Bobby bring us to a place like this. Security moved the lot away from the gamblers parking and sat there enjoying the show in lot. Casino.. Once inside they had laid new carpet down in hall where stage was. had seats that everyone put in a pile to tear up the new rug from spinning free. All sorts of fuzzballs after show when lights went on. Anyway, stood on rail before Steve. Had security standing on either side of stage in front us. there was no rail up. So they stood there in the way & were nasty with attitude. Aside from the distractions, Band was tight as I had seen them so far this summer & spring. Set List is out of sight. Mission, Lady into Terrapin, Knockin, etc. Just on fire.. Kimock with Bobby feeding off him what a duo. Bobby Pinging with whammy bar (pheeeew). Pledge up them strings Steve. Let It Shine.. excellent recording .. had a friggin blast, Hippie Bill turned me onto set list after show during break down from Steve. Best show of the run for me.. See yah on tour

Great KIM - Dog

I love the book of rules

loved the show and love the recording

groovy

Very impressive recording and pretty good performance.
Bobby , Cincinnati is between Columbus and Louisville on I 71. Bogarts would be good, or the Madison Theatre over in Kentucky. We would like to see you in the Spring, please.

Yeah. What a rock solid band. Master Kimock brings an air of style to the dog that really improves the overall tone. I'm not going to say he is better than Mark, but his playing is a lot more classy.

This is just an all around kick ass show! The recording is top notch! Thanks!

good show. enjoy it d/l before its taken down

I am totally taken back by this show I've streamed tonight. I've been Jonesin' for a Ratdog fix lately and I got it for sure with this show. It hasn't been working out that I can cross paths with Bobby and Co. so far this year, but this show will tide me over for a day or two. This is classic Ratdog in my book. I was reading a review on another Ratdog show last week and the reviewer said he just didn't get it. Don't worry son, there are plenty of 4 minute wonders out there that can hold a limited attention span. This music is about loving your neighbor, accepting that there are all kinds of differnet people in this the world and that someone like Bob Wier can bring them togther in complete peace and bliss for an evening. This show will do this for you.

It never ceases to amaze me how they can take a song that I have probably heard a thousand times and still make it sound fresh. I've been hoping that someone would post a KellerDog show and I've been watching for cross-overs there, but this is one of the first times I've found the two together in the public domain. When Keller joins them on Deep Elem Blues and Mexicali I just had to sit back with this big ol shit eatin' grin of total satisfaction. Let's not ignore Steve Kimmock's contribution to this either. By the liner notes he's in for the whole show. I think that Odessa is one of the best performances of this song I have found on Archive.org by Ratdog. You can hear Kimmock tearing it up on this song. DAMN..how did I not show up in RI for this show,, because it's 2500 freaking miles away. Listen, I haven't been this inspired to write a review in a while, but in this case call all your Ratdog friends, newbies, and anyone else you can turn onto this show. This is classic Ratdog and just some of the best damn music you will ever find. Thanks to Mike Nichols for such an outstanding recording.
