Sweet outro on this one. Donna's got the sweet harmony and Phil with the bass vox makes it pretty kind.

MAMU is so often overlooked, but this one is hiding in plain sight. Hard jumpin' rocker here with a savage pulse, and great banter after.

After the ultra-outre Dark Star, this pure rock and roll distillate is just perfect goodness. A burner with Billy hard charging in 4-wheel drive.

Note for note perfect. The only reason it isn't here yet is that the shows between Europe and Berkeley/Veneta are too often overlooked.

Possibly the highest energy piece in the whole show. An excellent jam that left the crowd smiling, for certain.

Furious shredding, blisteringly hot.

Slow building intense ride. Around 10th minute Jerry starts sounding like a room full of guitars jamming as one.

This is a great show. The band seems to be experimenting with so much, and the sound is really gentle, really "less is more". The Stephen>Jam seems so fragile in places, like gossamere or dancing fragments of memory, but constantly driving forward, too.

Really beautiful and long. Goes into a modal jam reminiscent of "Sketches of Spain" around 12:00.
