What a treat. Why is this show undervalued? C'mon folks, don't let a good AUD scare you. This is a beaut, with the crowd part of the party.

Highlight from the first set. Keith sets it on fire. Jerry is in top form.

The '76 ones ted to plod along a bit too much for my taste, but Jerry tears this one right up with a good shitkickin' solo and great tone.

Continues the run of perfect Mamas from the Summer tour. This one is short and sweet, perfect vocals.

Full of strut. The band is in perfect form, everyone is on. Precise, strong, and full of swagger.

For a song that I'll admit to tuning out often, I'd have to rate this one much much higher than its present 2 votes. This kicks off with a high voltage, almost Cumberland feel and never lets up. Relentless drive, uptempo chaotic whitewater feel, Jerry ablaze with ideas. A great version.

Great story behind this one in "Long Strange Trip" told by Dennis Wiz Leonard about 15 minutes into the 3rd Act. One of the all time great moments capping Europe '72.

Keith's ascending power chords as Bobby ramps it up are just brilliant. I haven't heard it quite like that before. Just brilliant.

Some of Keith's best (and therefore the GD's best) piano soloing ever. Just fantastic.
