Solid muddy funk jam here to bridge fantastic versions of eyes and crazy fingers

Keith's playing is sweeter than soda pop. Delicate tenderonies

Turn On Your Love Light

This one is hot. Jerry gets an Allman brothers slide-type feel at the end of the first Lovelight. Very cool

Outro jam on this is everything. Broody, melodic psychedelic soup

Love Esau and this is a solid, tight, moseying version

Rare that you see a comment that just says "garbage" without any justification. This show is one of the few that I go back to from '95, so I listened to this version again with a critical ear. To me, the boys sound on. Bobby crushes the vocals, Jerry is dexterous and nimble with his leads, the band swells nicely at the peak/conclusion. Sure, it's not '72 era sound, but it's still a solid version.
