View NotesJammin Jed is back for one more show on his Fall Tour which was faced with several cancellations due to "circumstances beyond our control." This final show on the tour took place at the legendary Secondlife venue Hotel Chelsea, and though the schedule change caused a loss of momentum, Jed and the crowd bring the energy right back to these hallowed halls of art and music. Jed opens the show with a song he's never played before, a Herbie Hancock tune called "Chameleon" with a funky back beat and wah wah guitars setting the tone. Things shift quickly though to the bluegrasser "Where The Mountains Meet The Sea," in another odd placement. Jed settles in a bit with "Multiply" taking it into the first big jam of the night a bouncy upbeat improv with synthy undertones. The jam fades away into the sleepless soliloquy "Sunlight" and the short set wraps up with "Victim of the Rhythm" (which was written at the Hotel Chelsea). Second Set opens with an appropriately NYC tune by Velvet Underground, the gritty "Rock And Roll" which Jed belts out over 23rd Street. It opens up into a sultry jam featuring some nice piano work and the return of the wah-wah guitar, with a nice transition into Jed's emotional rock ballad "Feel." He mellows things out for a moment with the folksy "It Ain't Living" before rocking it again with an "annotated" version of his history lesson song "2000 Pikes." It makes an uncharacteristic left turn in the middle - into the Grateful Dead's "Deal." Jed had been playing a Robert Hunter tribute song each show on this tour, and this may have been the only place for him to squeeze it in, but it's a perfect sidebar for the cautionary song about John Brown and the raiders. A nice jam ensues, building nicely from the end solo of the song to a massive crescendo that breaks open into a nice uplifting jam with a great back beat and soaring guitar riffs. When it's all over, the gentle remembrance "Smile Forever" emerges from the dust and it's the perfect come down. The show, and the tour, closes with a cover, the ever-popular Cailidgh Spires song "The Song With The Words And Stuff" which sends everyone off singing. This is a good show at a favorite venue, and it really packs alot into a short timeframe, especially in the second set which seems alot longer than it was with multiple jams and a bunch of great songs. But the first set features one of the show highlights, Jed's surprise rendition of the Herbie Hancock song "Chameleon." Enjoy!
