I think the band was a little cooked from the night before but it seems like they're still having some fun.

A sublime treat. A kinder, gentler Terrapin. Great sounding vocals leading into a monster LIG

Beautiful, exquisite, ethereal and a million other adjectives for WOW. Just traded my copy for a great sounding matrix. Hell, with all the remasters out there now, gonna need to do some work updating my collection.

A little something different. Not the hottest version ever but with Billy, Phil and Keith all making their presence felt, this qualifies as extra dank. The outro jam is totally owned by Phil This whole show has a nice light jazzy feel to it.

Interesting.....This could almost be called "White Rabbit" jam. Definitely heady.

This is a Winner. Good God! Bobby and Donna are really in sync on this night. Bobby says, "I need somebody to help me" but nobody in the band needs any help throwing down this epic version. Great night for the Donna fans....she's shining bright.

Love this version! Slow, slinky and just a little bit greasy
