Great forward, driving pulse to this one. Sounds like the had a blast playing it.

Kind a chaotic mess, but with a shredding outro which extends the jam for 8 minutes. A strange, cool interpretation for SS fans like me.

Jerry at his most angelic, comes after Bobby at his most satanic. Beautiful stuff.

The jam kickstarts the band around minute 3, and they go from sleepyish to electric haywire.

Very hot transition from Truckin'. Short but powerfull, a fully-charged space cannon.

Deserves more love. Let It Grow just blasts off and leaves your jaw dropped. Hot hot stuff.

48 minute jam starts with Phil and Ned at their tweekiest. You've been warned, if that isn't your bag. (Not me, though, I dig that electric weirdness - you couldn't squeeze my pupils down to normal size even if you tried....)

Drops you through the wormhole right quick, this one. Not a beginner's 'Playin' by any stretch. (Don't try to convince a Dead skeptic with this big beast, oh no.) Goes in and through and out of many dark places, but the whole show is full of very outré jams and this really sets the tone for a big big show.

There's a whole lotta music in here. Listened to it over and over, still finding new things in there. Outstanding, driven, tight and right.

Goddamned double posts again. Sorry.
