One of those note-for-note perfect versions that leave you staggered and smiling. Just beautiful.

Not a song I usually get so swept up by, but on this one Jer's vocals are just perfect, capturing the sweetness and sorrow of the lyrics. A beaut.

High-powered and tight. This show has nothing but complaints about the mix on the archive. Listen to the Ashley transfer, and see what you've missed.

Such sweet harmony, such sweet sentiment - turning on a dime after the white-hot Dew. Shows the beautiful country chops Donna at her best brought.

Jam starts at around 05:45, never fully forms. Am I crazy? This sounds like NFBM and it continues about 3min into TOO. Very very cool stuff here.

The jam AFTER the outro just so mysterious and beautiful.

Total Bird Song. This show does drag in a few places during in the first set, perhaps due to being in the studio for the month prior, or new equipment. But by Bird Song, they were absolutely flying and it shows throughout the rest of the show. Just what I search for in this song.

Takes its time. And every sweet minute builds and builds. One gets the impression that Jerry chose the set list on his birthday as a big present to all of us....

Monumentally massive 2nd set - with a great Dark Star before it. This is an experimental yet tight version. Around 14:00 it really takes off into new territory. A beauty.
Dark Star

The real deal: Dark Star as endless source. It tickles your ears then floats you senseless, then moves into the farther corners of the cosmos. It stretches, it bends, it melts, it gets scary. Listen to it again and again and again, there's always something new in it....
