Playin' gets interwoven throughout the second set. Solid stuff from a great two night stand in Denver

Wore the tape out on an old AUD of this version. Just re-upped on a nice SBD. Beautiful rendition of this delicate ballad. Hot string of shows too

Obviously this is off the charts, stratospherically awesome in every way possible. I'd have to do a blind taste test with Hartford and Alaska (why is that so low?) to see which i prefer most, but luckily i can just enjoy all three. From memory, i'd have to say Alaska, which takes nothing away from the other two

Flat out mesmerizing, deep thick funk SWAGGER. My favorite. Agree with previous comparisons to Cornell (re: flubs, depth, etc) - this is the go-to for me

The meat and this one is hearty. Whole segment deserves more dap
Uncle John's Band

Cow Palace

Notable for not only just the segues both in and out of these UJBs, but flowing jamming throughout the song segments themselves
