The jittery bridge between an epic, 19-min Truckin' and a pretty cool TOO...

Kicks off an epic 34-song show in style with an excellent solo from Keith!

Pretty trippy one bridging the gap between an epic Truckin' and a pretty great TOO

Here Comes Sunshine

San Diego International Sports Arena

Have to agree with what others have said about the loose-to-the-point-of-botched transitions. Also, Billy plays pretty much the entire song with the snares off...is it just me, or is this unusual?
And We Bid You Goodnight

Winterland Arena

Bobby starts to bid the crowd "goodnight" as "Johnny B. Goode" finishes, but Jerry has other plans and leads them into this sweet version...

This one gets quite out there, yet remains smooth and melodic...A+ from me. Shame about the cut. Love Bobby going for a high scream of his own during Donna's signature post-jam scream!

First one in a little over a year is a good one!

One of the better ones I've heard actually...tight with great vocals from Phil.
