BeggarsTomb summed it up. Really from Peggy-O on through this Goin Down The Road, the Dead were 100% on fire this night.

Spectacular version. As much jazz as it is funk and much different than what I'm used to.

This monumental jam makes me want to catch a ride on a spaceship with Capt. Dead2ThaCore. Ride, Captain, Ride!
