Revs up the rowdy crowd, tight and powerful 2nd set opener in a brilliant show. The AUD is a bit rough in places, but gives it great atmosphere. Hot.

Ignore the audiophobes and get into it. Pig and Jerry both totally on. The band is exploding with energy. Overlooked show, and Dave knew it.

Strong and powerful, like all the best versions of BP. Deep emotions on great pulse to this one.

Great sound. Some tuning/monitor problems earlier but by this they've worked it out. Nice clean version in what turns out to be a killer show.

Don't pass this by because of the AUD issues. Stands up to all the top H2Hs here. The jam and energy are outrageous.

Bobby's tweaking! This version is as nice as air.

They're on fire right out of the gate. After a beautiful, exploratory Bird Song they close the set with this psychedelic monster. Damn, but it just grows and grows.

I always loved it when my long strange trip kicked in right about the same time they rediscovered Bird Song again. Fuck this sounds so good. Thanks boys.
