Bird Song
it just keeps building
30
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Effortlessly smooth transition...the boys show they mean business by starting off with this little number
9
Jack Straw
Sweetness
8
Looks Like Rain
Passionate
39
Playin' In The Band
20 minutes of headiness...it gets pretty out there
8
Bertha
Jery gives it a little extra, and Weir is slashing some real gorgeousness
12
Greatest Story Ever Told
Solid Phil bombs, great Kieth work, Weir n Jer shine, and Billy K rocks! Donna contributes nicely too
8
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
A great version from a somewhat overlooked show.
3
El Paso
The boys push behind Bobby like the posse chasing the narrator of the song. You can hear the hoofbeats. Excellent.
5
Row Jimmy
Beautiful ensemble playing. Jerry and Donna harmonise nicely.
20
Dark Star
A long deep ride: Inter-stellar collectivity with deep-space weirdness after 1st chorus.
5
Truckin'
Check out the totally mad vocals. Someone's belting it out, and it ain't Donna! Out of a killer Dark Star.
16
Morning Dew
Massive and powerful. Jerry and Keith are just brilliant. OK, that all from me on this great show.
8
Box of Rain
Phil and Donna kick it out in a show that smokes from the China opener on as a bonus there is a top shelf CM soundboard for your listening pleasure
8
They Love Each Other
early excellent version
6
Loser
Beautiful playing and singing throughout, restrained and focused razor-sharp
3
Promised Land
A charged version that starts off a triple-thread run for this massive second set.
2
Beat it on Down The Line
Rockin' little version, keeps this underrated show going. Jerry and Keith each have a sweet little solo...
1
Mexicali Blues
Man, what an incredible first set
1
Don't Ease Me In
Smoking second solo.
1
Me and My Uncle
Solid version before a great dark star
