I might faint if they bust out Bird Song in Oakland … LTP with Bobby at the Ryman in ‘22 and they stopped playing Dead after that night … till Bobby himself died 🌹 12/31/90 with Branford - same venue 🥹 I believe @bsprophet.bsky.social was there 👀 archive.org/details/gd90...

It was around this point in last night’s (GOAT?) Gild that I thought “this is like a modern take on a Bird Song jam” and then I realized wait Gild IS a bird song 😮 #bmfs

Big day! Was up early in my suit for my godson’s baptism in SF and now I’m at the Oakland airport in my show clothes headed to LAX. First of six shows this tour incoming! ✈️ #bmfs

Only just put this together now, but they played Watson Blues and All About You tonight, both of which Dawg cut with Doc on their late 90s release Billy was just recording with Dawg last weekend … did they cut these tracks again with Billy sitting in for his idol?? #bmfs

I’m feeling a Jeff Austin nod tonight and my first thought (aside from 15 Steps / Rundown etc) was that 40 Miles from Denver would be just perfect 👌 youtu.be/SFhzoT2r8y0?... They’ve never played that though, so I went with the once played Hartford cover that Yonder played all the time #bmfs

Walker Jenkins' first career homer vs. an actual pitcher is a game-tying two-run shot off a 101 mph fastball with two outs in the ninth inning. Jenkins has three hits tonight after totaling four hits in his first 16 games.
