The Music Never Stopped
Spacey and cool.

Me and My Uncle
Stayin' Alive tease to open and significant teases by Keith throughout. Most interesting version by far - (teases continue into a romping Big River)

Big River
Stayin' Alive teases carried over from Me and My Uncle. Ballsy version

Ramble On Rose
A cool version from a great show.

A decent Promised Land till the end, when the band just hits another gear completely, kicking off a superb show.

Passenger
Jerry-licoius.
33
Friend of the Devil

Good Lovin'
Full of Energy, Jerry is ripping!

Close Encounters Jam
"space" after drums before not fade away. Maybe just jerry messin around with the mu-tron but sounds like encounters to me.

Terrapin Station
Dynamic and skillfully played version, featured on Dave's Picks 7

Fire On The Mountain
Jerry's Mutron magic and Bobby's noodling slide make this version unique. So much energy here.
