Amazed I get to submit this, especially from such a highly-renowned show. One of the best I've heard!

Very strong encore version at a great, seemingly underrated show.

Last piece of this brilliant show to be submitted. Billy unleashes some wild, tribal bashing to cleanse our palette between DS and Eyes

Phil is doing some really cool stuff around the 3-min mark in Supplication

^Depends on the song IMO, heady_eddy. In the case of Peggy-O, slow is definitely better though. Great version and underrated show!

Love Jerry's references to "Everyday People" during his first little solo break at around 2:30. Great version.
Turn On Your Love Light

Bickershaw Festival

I wish these European versions had the "shine on me" coda to feel complete, because the rest of the song is certainly played as well as it ever was on this tour. Love Jerry's slide work around the 10-minute mark in this one.

I really like the setlist pacing of putting this right before an epic DS, just like they did the show before this one in Paris.
