Don't think it's great on it's own, but nice part of Estimated>He's Gone>D>S>Truckin'>TOO>Stella sequence.

I think this version works best when Keith is adding color to it, and he sounds nice here.

Ramble On Rose

“Rose” has that nice shuffle-boogie I love so much (I think they nail the tempo). Listen to the crowd explode when he hits the “just like NYC” line!

Why should you give a whiz about another version of Minglewood?

Tennessee Jed

Uptown Theater

Standout solo section with entire band playing interesting lines. Romping, stomping fun. Also not to be missed are some funny Bobby remarks re Phil breaking string (something about a man in a sharp suit smoking a cigar, with wire cutters). Billy AND Mickey’s birthday today (Parish's real birthday) before a surprisingly banging version of “Funiculi Funicula.”

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Mississippi River Festival

Worth a vote for that super sick peak in the > alone. Everything else is just nasty. Nice one.
