UIC Pavilion, University of Illinois, Chicago, IL

Today the same crew boarded the same bus and headed from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem to tour the old city. Fascinating trip. Amazing, really. Here’s a panoramic of the whole scene.

 

 

I tried my best to listen today. I did not want to listen on the bus, though, as we really wanted to spend time with everybody, plus listen to our tour guide. I did manage to hear much of the first set this morning via headphones before waking the wife for the day. Wilson opens the show with zero chanting. Those on West Coast tour earlier must have dropped off by this point.

Elsewhere, the Maze is a keeper! The Ice features a bluesy little breakdown segment worth checking out.

The second set I put on as I lay down to sleep. After walking as much as we did in Jerusalem I was exhausted. Pretty sure I slept through most of the set. Looks like a winner, though. Gonna revisit this one sometime soon!

Thanks for reading.
