Pretty darn perfect. Mellow funkiness of 76 with 77 precision.

Madison Square Garden

Contains a cool Samson and Delilah jam with each member (incl. Vince) contributing equally. Everyone is on.

Jerry is clearly in the mood to rock out in this show, and this song benefits from it. Raw. Great solos. Very funky.

Band bristles with restrained energy. Jerry's voice is scratchy and perfect. Great harmony on the chorus.

Box of Rain

Memorial Coliseum

Best version. Sweet vox with more interesting playing than Spectrum. Not quite as clean as the beautiful Keith solo in that one, but more inventive playing all around. More of a dialogue between instruments. Harmonies aren't as precise but there's more emotion.

Halfway through and completely shocked this isn’t higher.

The Spectrum

Crazily underrated. Try focusing on Weir a little (kind of quiet and to the left). He’s having a night.

This may be it. Had to stop what I was doing to listen more than once.

Beautiful one here. Makes me question my post-hiatus preference.
