Althea
Perfect pace and groove. Super hot ending jam starting by blasting the main lick full band full force. Awesome Jerry licks to complete.

Loser
How this is not considered the best Loser I'll never know. Absolutely insane Jerry solo ending with an EXPLOSION into "Last fair deal..."

The Wheel
A great version out of a great Estimated Prophet.

Set two opener has a fantastic swing to it courtesy of Mr. Lesh. Sweet Brent, and Jerry is on top of it.

Estimated Prophet
This is a fantastic nearly flawless version, sweet jams and excellently sung by Bobby. Very polished performance

With special guests Airto Moreira and Flora Purim. Fantastic trippy stuff.

The Other One
nice long outer space intro sounds like you are on MArs than Phil explodes and it's like a thousand blasts of light they just take off for a wildburst

Passenger
Karate Chop! Miller/aud for the bone crushing pummeling.

Greatest Story Ever Told
Energy to Burn

Ripping opener of an outstanding three-night run. Jerry on fire.
