Review: 7 Walkers @ Fox Theatre

Though the band did not play many originals this night, we certainly witnessed something new emerge from the old. Other Dead favorites like Deal (which closed the first set), I Know You Rider, Going Down the Road Feeling Bad and Mr. Charlie (the latter of which closed the second set) intermingled with classics like Love Light in a way that most Heads can relate to: transitional ambient jams fueled by a solid rhythm section, as Kreutzmann has always been known to provide.

Aside from a couple moments throughout the show, 7 Walkers put on a solid though not perfect show. Those imperfections can only be attributed, however, to an unfamiliarity with each other’s playing that will surely be fixed with time.
