Tight, well-sung and really buzzing with energy. Keith has some great flourishes.

Hilarious intro as Bob and Jerry come in out of time with Phil. Hot one once they get going -- especially Billy, who's really 'on' at this show...

Phil and Bill sound like a runaway box car in an Appalachian mine! Heady interplay during the solos.

Cool chording from Bobby and a very restless Phil during the verses, then Billy and Keith fire off the jack hammer at the end of Jerry's lyrical solo.

This one is pretty unique for a song that didn't change much night to night...

Ramble On Rose

Very fluid and smooth as opposed to the usual clang and bounce. Haven't been this captivated by a 'Rose' in quite some time...

Really moves like a single organism. Bobby's vocals are heartbreaking.

"Stunning" is the word indeed, Cuse. What a show of confidence to open with a pretty complex song like this, and they nail it!

Psychedelic jazz cowboys indeed! This whole box set is awesome.
Promised Land

Keith is ridiculous on this one -- the whole Promised Land > Bertha > GSET hat trick actually!
