Hey Now! Played on Mardi Gras day with 10 minute drum percussion lead-in to start the 2nd set! You'll like what the Big Chief say.

Not Space, but since there's no category for "jam" this beautiful calypso improv out of WomenRsmarter will have to do (also has an "Eyes" tease)

From the show always overshadowed by the next night, which is a shame. Fantastic Jerry/Brent conversation mid-jam. Give a listen!

3 versions on archive. Grab the SBD seeded by Brian Cole. Listen to the insane end jam. Listen to the whole thing. This is an A+++ version!

^^^^You captured the feel of that moment perfectly. I'm so glad you made it! I had a similar experience in that I had agreed to drive the half day it took to get to VA. from New Orleans w/a couple who were attending & wanted a third to split gas money with. They argued and fought the entire way plus it was like monsoon rain the whole time & white knuckle driving conditions & I wondered what the hell I was thinking in even going in the first place. Then that moment you described & it was all worth it times 1,000. I'll also never forget the sight of Dead Heads five rows deep in the outer concourse after the set ended waiting for pay phones (1986, remember!) just to call someone & yell down the line "Box of Rain!" before hanging up. I saw this repeated over & over & was laughing & hugging along with every person there who felt as lucky as I did to have seen & experienced this moment.

Cgarces is spot on re: his Branford comment. This is a soaring version, far better than many other 90s era versions listed above. Plus Jer's voice isn't a complete croak-fest like in many other 90s renditions. Mid jam is just a tapestry of color and sound and ideas. I'm a MIDI hater & even tho' it does make an appearance here it's not too intrusive & not much different than what you hear on the Without A Net version everyone seems to love so much more. Drums kick in nicely too. No reason for this version to be under double digits, folks.

yeah, the AUD patch is a real buzz kill & I get what you're saying about the somewhat sluggish approach, but there's an odd steadiness or balance maybe is the right way to describe it between the two tunes and I like the patient bridge to Fire. As I said in my comment previous I see this as more of a nice sleeper pick or a good version to hear for some interesting early Brent contributions.

As unique an NFA--separate from any other identifiable era version--as you will ever hear. Jazz inflected...more like Buddy Rich than Buddy Holly...upvoted just for standing out so beautifully from the crowd.

Shame on me for not raving about this one & only now just upping it. Raging, yet laser precision performance, peaks, harmonies, the whole 9 yards. I'm always fixated on getting the word out about the S>F from this show so I overlooked this stone cold HalfStep for far too long. No more.
