Booming peak jam, then a flawless segue back into TOO

Two huge swells in this one. The first is a very funk jam led by Keith and Billy. The next involves a manic peak by Jerry. Worth checking out

This jam is a patient wave of energy that hits a progressive peak, then dissipates as cautiously as it grew

Jam starts fairly mellow, then Jerry vaults it into noodley hyperspace

Agree, peppy as shit and Bobby brings the "chaw" required for superlative versions of BTW. Crispy version

Celebratory victory lap after a sick set. Very hot Mags
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Agree with Grendel, the segue out of Dark Star is completely flawless and totally filthy, then they SLAY the couplet of China > Rider. This DS > China > Rider > Sugar Mags section holds up to nearly anything on one of my favorite tours the boys played. Super energetic coupling here

Sweet fuck, this is GREAT. Been a while since i heard it, and the SBD majesty of the new release is undeniable. The boys hit so many sweet spots in this. Epic, multi-sectional journey that blends effortlessly into a sick China > Rider. Needs more dap

This is precisely how you start a show! The boys dig their heels in early with a beautiful, melodic, and spacey jam. Love this show
