Days Between

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

If the first verse were lyricallly tighter this would be a world class contender for the best version. Jerry's rough vocals add a dimension to this somber tune. THis is another where his guitar is just singing throughout, piercing and beautiful. AMazingly played his tone is enough to bring a tear to your eye, fantastic, and Phil is just so impressive to be so delicate with the bass is magnificent. Phil and Jerry during the exit jam with an assist from Vince just gorgeous and emotional playing the instrumental jam is very moving.

Holy funkin $#|+ ! This is hot amazingly funky. It oozes funk from the tuning through the entire glorious thing. Loads of Brent Phil and jerry. This has got to be the best top 3 at worst.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Uptown Theater

I actually really like Donna here and think her crooning during the beginning of the transition is very nice and adds a nice element to the jam. But I admit I like Donna, I know many do not. I also think she is fathered restrained this evening as opposed to some of the over the top times like red rocks later this year when she goes pretty apeshit during deal among others. "Took a whole pail of water just to cool him down yes it did. " very cool little added things showing jerry was at attention though stil managed a flub or two. Lots of bendy bubbly notes. Phil laying down dome solid rumbles wish he were higher in the mix.

Very mellow and fragile sounding, almost has that china doll feel of touch it and itll break, Jerry breaks out a sweet midi horn to serenade us with when building to the Guess it doesn't matter anyway. Very cool and different take a rather mellow Deww but the end still raises your hair.

Close to 20 minute beauty, long wonderful Jams. Melds beautifully into the drums. The lyrics on this one are near atrocious but the jamming is beyond great. The keyboardists and Jerry are just locked into the jam. Seems to want to rip and just rushes the lyrics really jammed out to its fullest potential. Sweet jam into the drums
