P.N.E. Coliseum

Show starts out a bit rough - tech issues, energy, song selection. Boys seem to come alive here, with some nice Jerry leads and Keith fills

Perfect tone, swells, and peaks. This soars

INCREDIBLY slinky. Excellent action Brent-side on this.

Brent and Jerry trade smoking solos, then mesh at the final end jam. Choice

Early, beta version of the track, the (albeit brief) jam in this is strong

Very beautiful version. The jam is note for note perfect.

Oh man, this quickly vaulted to one of my favorite versions. Completely locked in playing, Billy driving the band, everyone is razor sharp. First MLB jam kills. Easily one of the more inventive and innovative versions. Deserves massive upvotes

Man this one is the goods! Great mellow, ethereal jam for the first 10 or so minutes, then a nice Lesh solo, into a popping Feeling Groovy jam.
