Very fun show w/ great setlist. Crowd was very into it. Only complaint is the hour break between sets, seems a little extreme. Place looked to be sold out or close to it. Hope they return to Bingo in the future.

Passenger and Music Never Stopped were solid to open. Crazy Fingers elevated the stakes. Race Is On was my 1st after probably 80+ times seeing Bobby and it did not disappoint. Ryan Adam's Peaceful Valley was excellent. Black Throated Wind was superb w/ Bobby wailing out the vocals at the end. Sugaree was good. Though imo, this is an example of a Jerry song that I don't think works nearly as well w/ Bobby singing. I think John should sing it (or Phil). Bertha w/ John's vocals was great to close the set!!
2nd set was stellar. Starting off w/ a great jam that morphed into a rollicking Truckin'. I think Bobby got all the lyrics right for possibly the 1st time ever. The Truckin' jam gave way to a great New Speedway Boogie w/ John and Bob trading vocals line for line in parts. The Cosmic Charlie w/ Phil and Bobby leading the way on vox was a ball. This opening suite to kick off the set lasted 30 minutes and I thought was utterly superb. Next came an amazing version of Something. Johns vocals layered w/ the backing singers really impressed me. I can't wait to hear the recording!! The Mountain Song was excellent. Phil's vocals were great and I was proud of the boys for still being able to make great new songs like this. (Yes, I know the history of the song but it is essentially a new song).
Scarlet>Fire w/ John handling the vocals was perfect.
Standing On the Moon was epic!! I wasn't sure Bobby could pull this off but he did BIG TIME!! He and John trading licks in the middle of the Be With You refrain couldn't help but you feel that they had succesfully channneled Jerry in this historic building for the Grateful Dead. SOTM segued into a very tasty Goin' Down the Road Feelin' Bad and an amazing We Bid You Goodnight.
Bobby sang the US Blues encore whch segued into my US Blues that was coincidetally up next in my car to start the long drive back home to Rochester.
Highlights: The 2nd set!! Thank God for Furthur;)

Hi all 2nd Furthur show after seeing the boys with Jer 80+ times.
This show was way better than the 1st at Worcester Ma last year.
I took my stepson for his 1st show on this one and was so happy it was a solid show. To me it feels more like a reviaval than the Grateful Dead shows but its definetly a close 2nd. So I wont complian. The 2nd set was the highlight Scarlet>fire I called after checking the setlists and I told my son I saw a S>F my 1st show ever. Keep up the good work guys its getting better and better I'll be back for more and you have a new fan who wants to see more shows as well. See ya soon

Decided to catch the Binghamton show rather than at the tower due to the fact that tix were 15 bucks cheaper than tower and no tolls to get to Binghamton,got there bout 7pm and headed in,shoulda got there earlier to check out the blocked off street for Shakedown. Passenger was a perfect opener that said the mood for the night, then into an appropriate Music never Stopped, and it sure didnt!Not a big fan of crazy Fingers but they impressed me with it. My highlight of the night was The Race is on, what a rare one to hear, a personal first for me,Peaceful Valley was just that, Peaceful!! Not a great cover IMHO. BT Wind,Sugaree, and Bertha were not just solid but ROCKN. @nd set Bobby pulled out a rockn Truckin as the crowd went nuts singing "NEW YORK got the ways and means, they just wont let you be heree" New Speedway Boogie and Cosmic Charlie were nothing but perfect. Mountain Song was new and good to hear, never thought we would hear new Hunter/Furthur songs.The whole show was the best Show ive heard in a long time, dancing to ScarletBegonias,Fire on the mountain and GDTRFB was a blast and a great workout. Something by the Beatles was a great treat, thought we bid u goodnight coulda had stronger vocals by John, i was lookn for that jerry sound but they finished wiith a phenomenal U.S. Blues that had me 100% pleased and waitn for the Mann and Bethel Woods in July.....
