Andrew, I agree with some of your critique (of the critique) esp. the first set piece. I have never liked Miner's tendency to do this either. Who do we know who skips first sets and shows up for second sets?

Even the Grateful Dead frequently played first sets worthy of mention, and yes, the 7/1 Fee is better than many of the jams mentioned favorably in this piece.

But overall I think CG did a good job with this. The task is sort of herculean.
