Notes: Right before this closing set it rained for 10 to 15 minutes. As soon as the rain stopped, Herbie hit the stage. I missed the first 30 seconds or minute of keytar intro as I walked over. Herbie switches from keytar to piano less than a minute into this recording. But he plays keytar again on the last two songs. It did rain a little more during the first half of the set. Recorded from the left stack.
