The Eleven
Insanely polished, and powerful eleven. Following an epic dark star. Despite the atrocious recording, this Eleven is most definitely a must listen

Easy Wind
Great version, not so great AUD
1
Candyman
Always a nice treat
1
Uncle John's Band
Can't get enough of the acoustic versions
1
Cumberland Blues
Hot version
4
Friend of the Devil
Deep levels of intimacy on the AUDs here, and Jer's voice and playing are just spectacular. Brilliant fresh playing from a historic transitional era.
4
St. Stephen
The last DS>SS>11 ever, and doesn't disappoint. Sounds like they still had TC's celeste, even tho he'd already left. Perfect cannon shot, tight jam.

I Know You Rider
Long, slow, version to open the show. Very cool.
1
Dire Wolf
Always cool to hear an audience version prior to workman's dead coming out.

It's A Man's World
This version is... not great. I'm wondering if the drugs kicked in or something.
2
Monkey and the Engineer
Very listenable and would have been ranked higher if it wasn't for the WTF recording technique
1
Me and My Uncle
A more subdued performance than usual!
