They come charging out of the gate to open a great, maybe underrated Texas tour. Great opener.

Atlanta Municipal Auditorium

If you can get past some severe tape wobble and speed issues, the mix is oddly clear and Jerry's ideas are just off the chain. Completists only.

A short but fascinating star, starts way out, filled with melodicism and beauty, almost yearns for the TOO>MAMU to emerge out of it. Give it a chance.

Jerry's Strat sound is so perfect here. This whole show (and the 6th) highlight the sound of this era perfectly.

They're having a great time here, you can tell. Even the monitor problems are the source of fun.

Three part harmony on opening verse. Keith with Bobby and Jerry? Doesn't sound like Phil. Nice.

Just wonderful. Nice long smooth jamming opening up a great show. Maybe my all time favourite.

Excellent transition out of Truckin.

Salt Palace

One of the most challenging and musically interesting TOOs ever. Starts with a great Phil solo; There are sections that sound like Jerry's MIDI work from 15 years later (!), a Phil-driven jam in 5/4 time around 08:00 and a wicked meltdown. A+
