We very much enjoyed the show with Jorma Kaukonen and Barry Mitterhoff, hosted by David Bromberg. Local boy Bromberg (his violin shop is down the block), led off with some up tempo tunes, including the Angel Band's version of Just Call Me Angel of the Morning. Jorma then joined the group for a few songs before the intermission. He returned, accompanied by the versatile Barry Mitterhoff on mandolin, banjo, dobro, and guitar. They played a lot of old time blues and vintage Hot Tuna songs. The musicianship was spectacular, all around.
Here are Jorma's remarks about the show (from his web site).
The trip in yesterday was long but pleasant. I haven't been to Wilmington for well over 20 years, and it had changed much. The show was great... David was joined by the Angel Band and a number of other friends. Really good stuff.Here is our set list:
