Very inspired playing. Jazzy swing from the rhythm devils, Lesh is barreling down the low end, and Jerry dancing the leads to a powerful conclusion

This one opens up nicely, and continually unfolds, into a seamless segue into PITB reprise

They are playing in Birmingham, the song mentions Birmingham, mass crowd hysteria ensues. Hot version though, so justifiable

I was going from memory when I made the show opener comment and lord knows my memory is turrrrible... I am also a stickler for a tickler and will appropriately hang my head in shame. Version is solid as it gets though. Glad it's getting love!

For some reason, I've held off on this show forever. Was pleasantly surprised by the entire show and this Eyes is premium ish. Good post!
