The second roar from the crowd a few seconds after the opening notes when they realize they're really getting DS sends chills down my spine every time. Fantastic

Whenever I listen to this DS>El Paso the image keeps coming to me of hurtling through space and landing in some western looney tunes episode.

New Deadhead here, got into them after seeing Bob Phil and bill at peach fest last year and not since Floyd as a youth has a band just completely gripped, shaken, and left me tattered wanting more. One of the first shows I bought was this show and china>rider blew my mind. My favs from this show are this, PITB, he's gone, DS> El paso. The video is hilarious too, what's up with the naked guy on a pole (not necessarily narrowing it down) behind Jerry? The look on his face during DS is fantastic
