Here Comes Sunshine
Here Comes Sunshine>China Cat>Rider!! The transition into China Cat is seamless. How was this not a regular trio???

You Ain't Woman Enough To Take My Man
This version of a fun Loretta Lynn song is mandatory listening for any serious Donna fan!

Loose Lucy
Third time performed and still a bit loose in the joints, but tighter and funkier than Dane County 2 days earlier.

Playin' In The Band
Mindblowing jams reminiscent of the massive '72s. Check out Jer and Phil interplay around 10:00.

Truckin'
Just beautiful 2nd set opener. This show doesn't get the attention it deserves! Solid jamming.

Row Jimmy
A sweet, crystal clear version (3rd performance ever). Beautiful Bobby behind Jer's strong vocal, even Donna's great. Unfortunate cut around 6:00.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Seemless out of a perfect Here Comes Sunshine. Epic flow, up-tempo, great sounding and flawless jams. What more can a Head need?

Box of Rain
So sublimely executed, Jerry adding awesome textures and the Godchauxes bringing the song to new levels!

Casey Jones
Pure Jerry on the vocals here - starts out deliberate and then goes for a slow long burn on the end - sweet.

Looks Like Rain
Keith steps in when Jerry's guitar channel literally dies. Very nice, Mr. Godchaux.
