One of the better Box of Rain,well sung nicely played. Cos the vocals are so important to this song I would wish others to hear it and vote it up.

Just watching this on You Tube and it's so wonderful. Lovely to see Jerry well and in his prime, sweetly jamming with Donna. very jazzy, very sweet. Go run and see!
He's Gone

Stanley Theatre

Can't be beat. I think it's really hard to judge the He's Gone from this period, Starting in the August shows, through September. even trying to pick the best of the 3 nights at the Stanley is impossible! Listen to them all. Phil's bass playing is remarkable. The outro jams all so yummy. I do love this song.

Top rate, 100% Rock and roll. listen to Keith's playing,but the whole band is spot on...Then one of THE BEST EVER China Cat >Riders ever.

Great version from a very good show that lives in the shadow of the night before. Still a spectacular 3 night run at the Stanley Theatre in a year of brilliant shows, no brilliant TOURS!
