My birthday show (albeit a few years early). Worth it just to hear what comes out of Bobby's throat at the beginning of the song.

From an all-around great show (the extra accent in the count-in must have caused some smiles)

It sounds like the boys gave a little extra on these "American" songs for their European fans.

Nice, tight version of a new American folk song.

Haha bloody Jerry's noodling in with the MIDI in the background between songs. Super high energy, sick. This whole show is so nasty!

The whole band is cooking tonight, and Jerry is on.

I honestly haven't heard this yet, but I think this is one of the most fascinating aspects of Deadhead-dom. I'm really intrigued by the idea of being "in" a song or jam, or "out" of it (transition), where the borders are between them, and how we interpret music that doesn't fit into these categories. Interesting stuff!

This "Space > Wheel" is the business.
