Mindblowing jams reminiscent of the massive '72s. Check out Jer and Phil interplay around 10:00.

Third time performed and still a bit loose in the joints, but tighter and funkier than Dane County 2 days earlier.

Mellow in places, shredding in others, goes in and out of off-the-rails trippyness but doesn't meltdown. Why isn't this one already here?

Brilliant, lightning-speed Jerry soloing behind Bobby. Worth many a listen in a great great show.

Fun and enthusiastic, if not just a little loose in the joints. Good energy and a great show all around.

Churning and swirling, it grows and grows like a dynamo wheelspinner.

The AUD patch at the beginning doesn't remove one iota of this version's enormous musicality and brilliance. Towards the end it sounds like everyone is playing in a different time signature yet moving forward with the grace, fun and bounce specific to the song's unique pulse. Wonderful.

Inventive and flowing with perfect ensemble mindflow. Never gets old. One of the great greats.

Fuckin' double posts. I'm sorry. But really young heads dig deep into the good old GD on this one.
