Just a damn near perfect performance. Shocked not to see this one submitted. One of MANY highlights from this show.

Stupidly heavy, shades of early heavy metal on this one. Incredible controlled chaos that explores so much. A very tight version.

Phil joyously expresses himself on this. A gun shot is heard on this one signaling a jam, and the William Tell Bridge is really well played. Excellent

Sandwiched between Truckin’ and Eyes, this jam takes me to checkerboard floors and red curtains. Deserves its own place. Unique Jerry lines.

I adore any version of this tune. This one is particularly joyful and full of life.

Rocking the ship back and forward going through tremendous storms and unpredictable waters. A force of nature.

Other One>Spanish Jam>Space>Feelin Groovy>I Know You Rider. Wtffffffffffff I posted a more comprehensive review under the O1 but this standalone Rider is one of the best performed, a true music plays the band moment. You gotta listen for yourself, it's beyond words.

gdtrfb puts it perfectly about how Billy is right on time yet stays ahead knowing where the music will go next. This whole sequence is some of the best music ever made. I imagine this band of pirates setting sail on treacherous and unforgiving waters, the waters going from calm to downright dangerous and the band does everything they can to go with the current. Spiraling down a whirlpool and ending up in this lost civilization underwater, lost in time, forgotten by many, but these explorers take risks, and ultimately find treasure beyond their wildest dreams, deep, deep in the ocean.

Moving in ways I can’t describe. Jerry’s guitar is a true extension of who he is, and what he feels. His guitar speaks emotions he can’t put into words, a very, very beautiful solo that alters your brain chemistry. You have to take a moment to bask in it, it’s really that good.

Barn burner. Jerry’s tone this show is molten lava.
