Overshadowed by the monster second set Playin', this deserves more attention. Tight playing, tons 'o energy, and Phil is massive and funky. Check it!!

Garica's solos are inventive and unique...this version is so tight yet the jams seem to stretch forever!

I'd be remiss not to add that Jerry even briefly breaks into the Mind Left Body jam, no joke!
