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

SCREAMING start to the show. Boys attack like rabid dogs. Great Brent solo in here. Welcome to Red Rocks!

Strap on your helmet and welcome to space camp! This is my buddies favorite version. I really need to be in the mood for this type of exploration, but when I am - it hits home and hard!
