In addition to the great playing throughout this first set, you can grin at the several musical references to the Derby that the boys threw in.

Light first half of a titanic encore. The anniversary's coming up, might as well give the show a listen...

I know most folks are indifferent re this song, but this type of mid-tempo bouncing shuffle is one of the things I love most about this band.

Barton Hall - Cornell University

welcome aboard Moses! Poke around and find what you like, it's never too late. cgarces is spot on with those recommendations, both are killer. I'd add 7/31/82 (my first favorite) and 2/5/78 (my current fav).

Rotterdam Civic Hall

Whoops! Edited. Also bump for the great rap and the fact that the whole group cooks.
