I have definitetly been know to FFWD through Space on playback, but this one is just beautiful. Starts out very spaced out, then gets blissful.

This one just keeps building, and building, until MASSIVE PEAK. All kinds of tension/release

Been a while since i have spun this one - it shoots straight into the cosmos. Very spacey

Great way to start an epic two-night run in the mothership

Turn On Your Love Light

Labor Temple

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

This version is sweaty... super funk jam, killer opener

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.
