Thoughtful, almost 11 minute version. Greasing it up before the monster versions of 77. Excllent nonetheless.

Smoked out of space. Some fanning for good measure, too.

Keeps the fun going after Touch. Killer version of Brent's best tune.

They kill the Touch to open the second set of this killer show. Lyrics nailed with summer tour energy.

This is really sweet version at this killer show. Keith and Jerry really are the highlights on this one. The first big highlight of this show. Cool intro.

^^^^extremely well stated. The palpable energy with each bulid-up is evident on the audience tapes, but still heard thru the soundboard. As I stated before, the crowd is in a frenzy until the first verse of LL Rain. The final build-up is like no other FOTM ever played. At this show, you then get a groovy jammed out Corinna before the drums to show the other cool side of the GD.

This is a killer DS as they transition it to the a 1970 sound. Has a touch of space, FG jam, and all the great components. Probably way too low with 12 votes.

I have said many times 3/27/94 is so tasty even though the set list is meh. The Samson is huge. The Jacks back to back to open are tight af. I need to listen to 5/31/92 Dew again.
