Want to know what it felt like to be Phil's axe, I mean like every single goddamned fiber of it? Strap on headphones and now you'll know.

Capping a brilliant show and hiding a nice Mountain Jam. This show doesn't get all the love it deserves.

Supercharged and hard rocking. Boys had some strong stuff in them this night.

Promised Land

Boston Music Hall

Keith's razzle dazzle is in full form. Short version, but tight and fun to close out a helluva first set.

Magic. This show is wall-to-wall highlights, but this... this is just top shelf. Bobby and Donna nail the harmonies throughout, Phil gives the master class and Jerry is simultaneously peaking after peaking as the soloist while somehow tucked away under the singers, supporting it all.
Let It Grow

Alexandra Palace

Not my favorite WRS of the year, but one of my favorite LIGs. They just crush the jam coming out of the lyrics, as the man said.

Very hot version from a chronically underrated show.
Estimated Prophet

Capitol Theater

This song was still in its infancy and to my ears this is the first one that really tuned into to the freaky frequencies that turn the best ones into the high-potency medicine that can either keep you grounded or freak you out: The off-kilter, odd meter, voices-in-the-head "na-na-na-na-nas", the protagonist's screaming madness, and the triumph of Jerry's solo on the edge of sacred illumination.
