High energy, and remarkable that they could pull it off after an hour of continuous jamming. Great show all round.

In spite of equipment stalls the set really takes off here. Great Miller mix showcases Bobby in the left channel. Beautiful version.

Keith is high in the mix and it's just brilliant. The NFA was a bit sloppy, but they nail the GDTRFB and the outro.

Fast and loose, with great Keith barrelhouse fills. Jerry doesn't want to quit. Good fun.

The Other One

Brilliant version. There's a unique space around minute 13:00 where Jerry is almost alone in the darkness, tweaking and reaching out, followed by whooshing zooms that can give you flashbacks forty-five-odd (very odd) years later, not to mention the under-water sea adventure that it leads into before a great meltdown for the ages. This is the goods, heads.

Could be the mix or the levels, but I am digging Phil's precise, technically flawless playing here. His subtlety and finesse are too easily overlooked. Reminds me of why I always aimed for the Phil zone whenever I could.

Classically under-rated song. Listen to Jerry's continuous percolating cantina gingerbread like a pot of boiling beans, while Phil gives a perfect master-class. Great version.
Greatest Story Ever Told

One of those moments where the band just explodes with the pure joy of playing wonderful music together. Jerry just launches Stephen like a trebuchet.

Jbrucer: Hope you found the archive more to your liking. I know I did. "Ripping" is the right word for this UJB. Sounds like they didn't want to stop playing and just got warm.
