I know it’s January 10th and that we are well into 2017 now, but there’s just too much good music to share from 2016! Jackie Greene finished out the year with a pair of shows at the Mystic Theater in Petaluma before heading to Sacramento for New Year’s Eve. The second show in Petaluma was a scorcher.

Jackie starts the show with a lot of original material before busting out the covers in the second half of the set. From the opening notes of “Dear Mr. Fantasy” to the end of the show are straight fire. After Greene blazes through the Traffic classic, he jumps right into “Scar > Fire” to end the set. For the encore, fans at the Mystic were treated to a pair of Beatles covers, “Tomorrow Never Knows” and “Taxman” with a little “Low Rider” through in, because why not?
