Fast and fun, the crowd really digging it. Great show in spite of some sound quality issues.

Gets real out fuurther and faster then into a Help-Slip preview in the jam. Great interplay between Phil and Jerry.

Rehearsal, no vocals, brilliant explorations of the song in development. Great insight into the boys' collective mind.

Never hits that level of wicked psychotic meltdown like some of the massive stars, but has some of the sweetest most melodic spontaneous composition they ever did. Oh and the glorious jam transitioning into Sugar Mag followed by a furiously heavy Caution make this every bit worth the praise.

Trouble groking this song? Check this one out and get it once and for all.

This one is a nice long ride. They take their time, but get you there alright. Understated, but brilliant and coherent - up there with the best of them.

Great version with cool, almost punk rock energy to it. Set lists.net and the box set have this going into 'Next time You See Me', not 'Sitting on top of the world'. What gives?

Sounds great up-tempo. To my ears it's better as a country crooner than as a slow ballad.
