Short, but listen to crowd freak out when the riff starts. Solid show on Lennon's birthday.

Trippy board effects on vocals. Everything this song should be.

Wonderful interplay. Short and focused. Sounds like the band becomes one organism.

Haha bloody Jerry's noodling in with the MIDI in the background between songs. Super high energy, sick. This whole show is so nasty!

I honestly haven't heard this yet, but I think this is one of the most fascinating aspects of Deadhead-dom. I'm really intrigued by the idea of being "in" a song or jam, or "out" of it (transition), where the borders are between them, and how we interpret music that doesn't fit into these categories. Interesting stuff!
