Awesome near 7 minute Playin that starts to go out there as it would much more in a few months. Really interesting period for the band imo

Such a killer transition out of Franklin's. So so smooth and an awesome version too!

Phil is a beast here especially. Can't imagine seeing this live with the Wall...
Truckin'

Iowa State Fairgrounds

Top notch Truckin' itself here, and the jam after reminds me of 5/19 where they're just so full of energy at the end of the show and just go on and on and on...obviously a much more clear theme here but wonderful nonetheless! Helluva show
