Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

Solid version of this tune. Less of a trainwreck when played later in the set it seems.

First great post-coma moment. Phil is unbelievable throughout. Jerry's in it to win it. Check the SBD.

Rowdy, spirited version. Jerry not quite done with it when everyone else is.

Heavy, experimental, intense version. Going into El Paso is brilliant.

Jam is great. Listen to Phil toward the end.

This is a great China Rider. Listen to the outrageous moments in the transition, especially between Jerry and Brent.

A bright light from a dark time. LagerandGos is right. Jerry is sharp, Bobby is brilliant.
