...21st century, is in fine form on this album. He’s so much better than almost all of the guitarists on the rock and jam circuits these days due largely to his innate feel and strong fingers; his playing really makes some of these songs sing, as on “New World Blues.” However, anyone familiar with the latest iteration of the Allman Brothers Band knows that Haynes is capable of much more when paired with young virtuoso Derek Trucks.

It’s in the spirit...
...band finished with fan favorite “Man on the Moon,” on which Stipe openly invited the crowd to sing along, as if they hadn’t been doing so all along. Surprisingly, Andy Kaufman’s death elegy did little to sap the mood from the night: When the lights came up many in the audience looked completely shell-shocked by the two-hour set’s incessant energy...
