While the recording isn't great, you can still hear and feel the intensity. Really great and worth checking out

Boston Garden

"Good luck to the Celtics" - Bobby. I believe in reference to the Pacers game (Celtics lost) great US Blues, Jerry doesn't fumble any vocals *I think*

This entire show, especially second set, feels like the true Brent tribute. First after his death, Bob's singing is beautiful, band playing impeccably

Coliseum Arena

The band had come out to play! Beautiful melding of everyone's instruments - Phil thundering along. I really love the tone Jerry locks into for this one - sharper, less spacy

Nearly gets to some of that primal Dead energy, such a great version is definitely underrated
