There are still three more shows left before Furthur wraps up their summer jaunt, but I'm already starting to think about how to summarize this tour. I've been very impressed with how deep they are willing to go into the catalog for a short tour; the lack of repeated material and diversity of the setlists are refreshing. I also love how new songs (Abbey Road tunes, other debuts from the spring) are being worked into the active repertoire -- would like to see a continued focus on development of new originals and covers. Here's a progress report...
