2nd ever in a triple Dark Star sandwich. Choral singing, not fully developed but part of some of the best damned Dead you'll ever hear. Believe me.

Acoustic version, beautiful and tight. Don't miss the acoustic set in the rush to the late show.

Energetic and tight with great harmonies and strong soloing.

Damned strong version building up nicely to the towering triumph, "you've done better by me than I've done by you". Strong stuff.

Bursting energy ending the 1st set in blazing glory. The shout chorus is outrageously hot. Has to be one of Donna's best nights ever.

This has always been my go to song when things get too dicey and I need a smooth landing, and this one doesn't disappoint: Beautifully orchestrated, lovingly sung, emotional without being over the top, it's a fragile but perfect china doll China Doll. Reminds me of why I loved it all these years.

Y'all have my permission to insist that they play this over my tombstone, alright? The whole second set, but especially the DS>MLB>Eyes patch. Home sweet home, indeed.

It's been almost three years since I last listened to this, and it still blows me away. Cerebral but elegant. Virtuoso but loose and free. It deserves all its praise. Somehow between 2012 and now the whole show became streamable again, as opposed to just the Star, which was for a while anyway not available on the Archive. Thank you, mister cool decision-maker, who gave us back the privilege to hear this one in the context of the whole show again. Thank you. Really. Plus it has to be repeated that the fact that they can give the first organic hints of MLB around about 24 minutes into it, then spiral off, get right well freaky, then after ten more wild minutes come back around and let the MLB emerge from its chrysalis to fly into one of the nicest Eyes of all time, is precisely why I listen to 1000s of hours of this music.

One might look at the setlist and think, "what was Big River doing here?", but then one listens and understands. They are perfectly in control of their music, and this one sizzles and pops and yes, at one point probably overwhelms a circuit for a few seconds. But it's a perfect workout before the long, smooth, mellow DS that follows.

Super tight set opener, moving through the different emotional phases of the song with the beautiful one-mind that just said, "buckle in heads, this set's going to go places...".
