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 takes a bit before the boys get their footing, but once they do, LOOK OUT. Choice peak in this throbber

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

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

God, Keith's fluttering notes always send chills up the spine on this one. Rolling, gentle, mellow greatness

Usually a fly over song for me, but Keith is suuuper bouncy in this and Jerry meshes perfectly with fills. Fun version
