They Love Each Other
Easily one of the most sizzling sickest versions I've heard.
33
Estimated Prophet
This one clicks and roars, one of my favorites of the year.
28
Eyes Of The World
Another Phil dominated performance, brilliant Phil led exit jam into drums. Loads of Phil bombs on this one.
14
Sugaree
Great, high-energy show opener! Really feeling Jerry on this one.
10
Ship of Fools
Jerry all over this version
20
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
Great vocals by Bob during LL and then Jer is so pure during Supplication.
13
Its All Over Now
Rockin version.
6
Promised Land
Encore only available via box set. Incredible energy with extended fanning as should be expected from the only time played as an encore.
11
Wharf Rat
Part of a big second set jam, emerging from space and segueing into Truckin', Jerry really moves through the gears towards the end
14
Truckin'
Great version, Jerry on fire especially during the outro
3
Around and Around
Goes into hyperdrive just before the 4 minute mark, long and fierce version, much more complex and interesting than the average
8
Dire Wolf
Nice and shot electric version.
9
Aiko Aiko
Neat dark intro out of Truckin', melts its way up and down Jerry's neck; Bob's slide work nice layer
7
Looks Like Rain
very nice
2
Candyman
Slick, efficient Garcia solo, plus some cool flourishes by the Godchauxs.
2
Beat it on Down The Line
Idk exactly what it it but this is rockin’ version
1
Deal
Phil carries this one
