You know the crew is feeling spritely and in a cowboy mood when they play this, blessed frequently in '89 with it.

Pigpen cut revived for the 90's with the group in kind of a slow crawling king snake vibe. Vince knows how to lay down some organ. Top late form.

You know it's going to be a mammoth set when they cover a 12-minute, 1,000000 word dylan song in set 1. heady in the abstract sense, but it's driving and quite somethin'.

very nice playing sprinkled through this whole show, including on a ready-to-rip S&D

Really sparkling and lush. Its great stuff, shows the kind of rhythmic complexity of the Row Jimmy chord changes in a fast way. heady midi stuff

Some barrelhouse fun with bob. Some really cute moments with Jerry and Vince having some fun. Overall a tight rendition.
