Stunningly good. Mysterious. My favourite - for now!

Just a full-on rocking get-up-and-jump version. Keith's blazes here.

Long fast and beautiful China jam to open 2nd set. Forgotten show? Check it out, heads, you won't regret it.

Crowd pumped up for this 1st set opener. Juiced and tight. Starts one hell of show.

Stealth Show. Blazing Playin' - hot and fast, no summertime mellow here folks. Under the radar massive Dead.

Playin' In The Band

Lille Fairgrounds

Sounds unequivocally '72 from start to finish, predicting where this monster goes between Europe and Oregon in a few short months. Should be waaaaaay higher.

Pig/Keith chemistry out the wazoo, and that's not something you hear everyday. They're just perfect together.

Show is languishing down in the 2-3 votes per range, which doesn't do it justice at all. This is a smokin' barnburner. They were entirely in the zone from note one by this point in the tour. Give it an up.

MerryJerry, I've just been cramming them into Space, finally. There's no slot on here for "Phil & Ned" either, so I just overlook the anachronism and call it Space.

DonnieinMT, I'm real curious if you've got other dark stars that do it for you. Based on your comment, I think you're just not into spacey jams. Me, I could dig this one all night though, and its transitive nightfall is deservedly near the top of the list. The fact that they're all thumb wrestling throughout it to find their ways back into form and melody, but clearly having too good a time to stop, sets the tone just right. Where else could they go after starting each set with killer Playin's and Morning Dews?
