Rhythm Devils are definitely "off" on this one, and it doesn't sound intentional LOL. Too bad, because the others bring it.

This one is seriously underrated. Stately, elegant jazz as opposed to the crazed, psychedelic jazz of Veneta. Perhaps the prettiest DS.

I think this might just be my favourite. It has everything: primal intensity, jazzy sophistication, unrivalled creativity and chemistry. The patient, contemplative intro sounds like the musical equivalent of tilting one's head to examine a painting at the Louvre -- funny how shows can take on characteristics of the city and/or venue they're played in...

Nice addition of a little Jerry solo in this one!

Absolutely mind-blowing how much they pack into just a 10-minute version!
