Pretty trippy one bridging the gap between an epic Truckin' and a pretty great TOO

They really attack it as opposed to sauntering through it…one of the most energetic I’ve heard! Don't let an audience tape scare ya...

Brown Eyed Women

They actually only played it six times on this tour, with 5/25 being the only one after this. I agree, it's a great version apart from Jerry's minor lyrical flubs.

Jerry is in a very adventurous with both his riffing and the solo on this one. Great, swaggering version.

Jerry's vocals are very impassioned on this one, seemingly paying special attention to each syllable...

One of only seven times (out of 600 total plays) that they opened with PITB! This one feels much longer than its 10:33 run time — in a good way. You can tell this show has that "it" factor from the start...

Concertgebouw

I ranked this fourth of the tour last year, but I now realize that was a mistake. I'd put it ahead of Bickershaw for third at least (had Paris first and Frankfurt second). Goes very far out and covers some crazy terrain, yet stays every bit as refined as the gorgeous venue it was performed in...A++
