Cali run in Southern California.  My better-half always ! swears by ... between seeing the G.D. & J.G.B. -- both Ventura & Vegas ... is all you need !  Well, you know ... and Oakland too !  Ha !  Yes indeed, as that was the way that a lot of loyal G.D. Fans felt, and ... for real good reason !  At the 6/13 Show ... a Smoker ! of a Let It Grow closed Set I -- only to lead to a Shakedown ! opener in Set II !!  And from the Estimated > Eyed on ... the Boys took it on Home ! >>> Space > Other One ! > Morning Dew !! > Sugar Mag !  And, as for 6/14 ...
