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.

Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

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

I love Bobby's "the hero died" comment at the end!

This one is a killer! I looked down at my phone expecting to be 10 minutes in and was only 4!
Beat it on Down The Line

Rheinhalle

I'm not always a huge fan of this song -- I don't dislike it, I just never go out of my way to listen to it -- but I love this version! Really wowed me when I was listening to this show today for the 48th anniversary.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Sometimes GDTRFB is just kind of "there" in the background for me, but this one grabbed my attention!

Rheinhalle

To me, Wharf Rat always sounds better coming out of an epic DS or TOO (as this one certainly does)...it makes you feel like you had to go on a long journey through the cosmos to stumble upon August West's dock.
