Beefy stetson hat workout. Ravishing harp and fun fender deluxe reverb tones.

Not unheard of to go into this after scarlet fire (34 times) still, something of a wacky pranksterish reset. Speedy and powerful version with growl.

Devils come alive. Joy ride to wirepickin' ecstatic oblivion. Furiously active yet not autobahn, deep 80s

Great one. Kits duet is really inspired. Space curdles out with noise but gets jester's hat nightmare with vocal pranks. Beautiful long bluesy intro

man, is there a show on this tour they weren't dosed for? check out bobby's pupils and that zonked out opening banter. Pretty solid version of Bertha with pigpen killing it on the hammond b3. https://vimeo.com/101359380

Killing version of this, likely one of the best ever. Billy is just too cool in this. i love how lesh lights up the bridge section with primordial bass levels of face stealing grind
He's Gone

Baltimore Civic Center

can't believe this only has 6 votes. Gorgeous version of He's Gone - Keith's playing is as good as rock piano gets - that goes into a face-stealing, truly epic 40 minute version of Other one>Drums>Other one.
