My birthday show (albeit a few years early). Worth it just to hear what comes out of Bobby's throat at the beginning of the song.

Set I ender from one of my favorite shows. Hot and tight.

From an all-around great show (the extra accent in the count-in must have caused some smiles)

It sounds like the boys gave a little extra on these "American" songs for their European fans.

Nice, tight version of a new American folk song.

Garcia's voice actually sounds pretty good tonight, and he's clearly glad to be singing throughout this whole show.

Kick ass version and very little slide-town Bobby? Hell yes.

Also, the feedback that happens after is a must hear. Very musical and has the pure crystalline quality of warm cosmic whale song.

A very good version. Everything before and after the atrocious sound in the middle of the set should be heard.
