Like the night before, a great version from a legendary show that I'm surprised wasn't already here...

Next Time You See Me

Olympia Theater

Back to its usual tempo after the cool slow version in Hamburg a few days earlier, this seems like one of the better ones...

Crazy to think that Jerry's lyrical flub in this otherwise excellent version is probably the biggest "mistake" of this entire 3h 41m masterpiece of a show...

The one from the following night is my all-time fav, but this one is excellent too!

^Most of the show has that feel — to my ears at least — which makes it sound fresh. It's a nice little palette-cleanser before Paris and beyond...

This has to be one of, if not THE heaviest version. Showing no signs of fatigue after the all-time great show they uncorked in Düsseldorf two nights prior, you can tell they mean business from the start here...
