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!

Feelin' Groovy Jam

Olympia Theater

cgarces, like you, I have this phenomenal show second only to Rotterdam for the tour, and both of them trailing only 2/13/70 overall...

I like to view these little drum breaks within an epic DS or TOO as a pit stop to repair the spaceship along the journey...
Big Railroad Blues

Another tune that really benefits from Pig's organ IMO
He's Gone

One of the most graceful glides to the finish...beautiful.
Brown Eyed Women

Olympia Theater

This might be my favourite version. This is one of those songs that doesn't need to be jammed out IMO...the songwriting is good enough to stand on its own.
