GSET-esque rhythm playing from Bobby as the song progresses. Set 2 is a SM -> SSDD sandwich, worth hearing.

Pine Knob Music Theater

Six minutes of outro jamming that begins mellow and then starts rocking. Jerry and Brent harmonize for a little while at the beginning.

Average version, but this is probably the best place to mention that Jerry starts playing Terrapin before this one starts, leading to a brief jam.

Warfield Theatre

Played every night of the 3/29-31 Warfield run, I'd say this is the best of the three. Good vocal and guitar solo, and Brent shines throughout.

He's Gone

Hampton Coliseum

Admittedly not as great as the DP13 version played 5 nights later, but still worthy of mention. This gets to that bluesy space in the outro.

DS67, if you're checking out more from this show, I can recommend this. Unusual outro jam on Saint, it sounds to me like Jerry drops out and Bobby takes the lead. Bobby sounds great throughout - making up for the TMNS travesty in set one ;-)

Disco was already dead, but you wouldn't know by listening to this version - very danceable.

Buckeye Lake Music Center

Hornsby and Jerry start playing the chug-a-lug Around and Around rhythm after the "Pearly's been true" verse at 6:15, leading into a rocking 2 1/2 minute jam.

Giants Stadium

"May This Be Love" - Mickey is having some fun with a sample of Hendrix's guitar intro from 2:45-4:30. Then the Neville Bros join at around 7:00 for some excellent percussion jamming. Exceptional Drums!
