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.

Not Fade Away

Kieth continues his visit from the future experimenting with synthnoise settings that could have easily been from the ten years later. Set's a cool groove with what sounds like a Moog/DX7 and Hammond Organ rig around 5 minutes in while Jerry and Bobby are slowly boiling everybody's brains for what must have been a long strange trip to round out the set.

This one really deserves its spot on the front page, even for a a song played 300 times more or less over the years. Like much of this show it seems tentative at times but of a sudden turns just colossally confident. The oomph that everyone mentions is real, and they orchestrate the highs and lows to perfection.

Absolute face melter. Kicks off an absolute dream sequence in the 2nd set.

Keith is woodshedding throughout this. Gives us a master blaster class of razzle and dazzle during the whole number. He's got ten fingers on each hand if he's got one!

Teases "Blackbird" in the noodling after, which is honestly my favorite part of this version. Not to disrespect the song, but it didn't move me. This JGB with Bobby doing an acoustic Blackbird sure did, however, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMsS-fIhWuk
