A laid back one. Phil's bass and Billy in the groove.

Everyone is on for this one. Great vocals, even by Donna. Why isn't this getting any love?

I'm sorry, but please listen to 8/14 and compare Jerry's work on the two. This one seems to get the nod since it's embedded in the O1. But the Berkeley is better by far.

I really like that solo, and this whole second set has a distinctly country rock feel to it. If only Bob could rein in his screeches on Truckin' and Sugar Mag, this would make a nice disc, (or two-disc set if you include the first night).

I mean that. What I said below. Bouncy. Inspired. Definitive.
