In addition to the great playing throughout this first set, you can grin at the several musical references to the Derby that the boys threw in.

Light first half of a titanic encore. The anniversary's coming up, might as well give the show a listen...

I know most folks are indifferent re this song, but this type of mid-tempo bouncing shuffle is one of the things I love most about this band.

Can't believe I forgot to vote for this! Great playing, and one of my favorite Jerry licks in the post-"Headlight" verse. This whole show never disappoints.If you have 4 hours to drop into something top to bottom, give this a listen.
