The Allstars clearly love playing as an end in itself, an attitude that bolsters confidence in their own abilities. Boulderado also exhibits how the scope of NMAS’ music is enlarging in proportion to their experience. Likewise, the grinding likes of 'Shake (Yo Mama), as it segues virtually w/o pause from 'Someday Baby' and into the languid 'Mean Old Wind Died Down' solidifies a link to their contemporary jam ethic. Sounding more authentic than ever, the fiery intro of 'Write Me A Few Little Lines' and 'Drop Down Mama' signals the trio’s reaffirmation of loyalty to their chosen genre. These February 2008 recordings from the Colorado venue document the continuing evolution of NMAS.
