The Wheel
Jerry starts the entry licks and slowly builds it for 3 mins until he bounces into it. Longest entry I've heard - love it.
13
Terrapin Station
I am still trying to understand why this is missed by folks. Absolute beauty, magic and an example of everything coming together.

Wang Dang Doodle
The boys really "throw a mess" on this one, making the carrier dome sound like a down and dirty old time saloon. Slinky sick stuff
3
Revolution
Rarity third time played
14
Shakedown Street
Phildown St. opener in the ginormo dome at Syrabuse. Phil makes this one groovy.
9
Bird Song
So why this song? The journey? Well it's right here in spades. Aces!
4
Candyman
Fantastic, has a great swing, love Jerry's solo almost sounds like its bubbling out from underwater at times, Phil lays some nice bombs to play onto
2
New Minglewood Blues
Nice and slinky bluesy jam. HOT!
9
Throwing Stones
Spittin' politics at the college kids then they scare them with the jam - nice and darkish.
3
Hell in a Bucket
Cool stuff right here. Early bucket with tons of Bobby energy.
5
Keep Your Day Job
underrated tune and show
7
Space
Downright damaging on liquid from about the 5:50 mark...don't go there unless you can handle it.

Man Smart, Woman Smarter
Great licks, tight solid version in a great second set .
