Ripping opener with a unique solo from Jerry!

Jerry and Bob are both really good on this one. Phil and Bill drive it forward nicely as well -- doesn't drag at all like some do.

Not the best vocally, but very good instrumentally.

Billy really makes this one -- some very cool snare and hi-hat work starting just before 2:00!

Very technically sound — almost like he’s doing a rudiment exercise for much of it, which is fine by me!

Phenomenal...you know they're feeling it when they dive into this second!

This one is groovy as hell! Has me bouncing around in my seat every which way (and it's not just the couple cups of coffee I've had)!

Wow, y'all weren't kidding about Jerry's final solo in IKYR!!! Hot, hot, hot!

Was "Promised Land" not the opener? I see it listed in all setlists, yet missing from the board...strange. Very nice "Sugaree" regardless!
