Bobby belts it, Keith slides in perfect synchronicity. Don't miss the surprise " Johnny B. Goode" parts Garcia throws in.

In the transition in from "Wheel," you can hear some of the ideas Garcia brings into his solos during the mid- and late- May "TOO"s

The chords and initial drum beat said "NFA," the the groove kept saying "Iko."

Nice energy on this. Don't miss the birthday celebration for the monitor guy either.

So far, I haven't heard a bad song from this show. This version of "Loser" is a bit faster than I usually like it (I prefer versions where the tempo is closer to a dirge), but there's a really nice cowboy-swagger thing going on here.
