Morning Dew
Sweet Vegas Dew.
5
Deal
Incredibly hot Deal, the boys really burn it down
7
Loser
Rock solid version. The solo peak is incredible, check out the matrix version!

El Paso
Wow! One of, if not the, best performances of El Paso post Godchaux era.

Althea
Chord-tastic solo from Jerry
4
Let It Grow
Incredibly underrated
5
Little Red Rooster
Proudly submit this version. That Dusborne matrix gives this superb depth of sound. Brent’s Hammond solo is lively and strong, and Jerry’s lightning.

Playin' In The Band
Special piece of a big hot night when all the cogs were limber and booming.

Candyman

Gorgeous set 2 opener, dreamy Sailor, powerful Saint, Brent sounds incredible. Interesting to play this before Scarlet/Fire in the set
