Headphones only (sound problems), but so worth it - liquid crystal lightning Jerry jaming at it's best. Deserves many listens.

Archive copy sounds like its recorded through a tin can, but excellent groove, jam. For headphones only.

Uh, Donny, you do know they'd been on an involuntary hiatus since July right?

Uh... yeah, but the whole band drops out for a spell. Bobby rescues it, that's true, and they all come charging back for the climax, but this one probably caused some eye-rolling by both band and roadies.

"Lesh takes over" is an understatement. How about, "Lesh destroys the universe with hammering thunder, unleashing Ragnarök to the ruination of the Storm Giants" or something like that. :^)

Hey Cuse, welcome back man! Where you been?! This is, you're right on, a definitive kickass version.

Oh yes, this is more interesting, tighter, and exciting than the Cornell one. There's too much said about this everywhere, but yep, just like with Veneta, there's a confirmation bias effect that over-values Cornell relative to the other shows and versions that could be more highly regarded. The first solo here, the punchiness of the drums, the Bobby-doin'-Bobby thing, and Donna, yes Donna, all make this one a great great version.
