Wicked jamming from Jerry.

Novelty of being done at MSG aside, this is a great version. Jerry reals get after it in the last minute or so.

Perfect cherry on top of a blistering first set. Vince is on fire.

Really happy I get to submit this awesome version. Jerry is brilliant on it, his fills and his solos come right out of 1974.

Flawless and energetic version. Jerry doesn't a miss a lyric or a change. Perfect start to an epic show.

"Days" is fine if placed well, but imagine if Bobby saved "The Other One" for this night instead of 12th and Jerry followed it with either "Wharf Rat" or "Dew." Alas, not to be.

I feel like Bob did this purely out of spite towards Jerry as the pre-Drums had been all him except for PITB. Even if I don't care much for the "Scarlet -> Fire," that 5 pack is still pretty fucking massive and it was obvious the crowd was digging it...then Bobby shoots that momentum to hell.

Awesome performance.
Bird Song

This one is played kind of fast and clunky. The best "Bird Song"'s are slow and stately, this one doesn't quite get there. Some good moments, though.

One of the best. Magisterial.
