At least as good as Barton, but not as well known.

Each night of this run has a stellar encore. I prefer 04-29's UJB, but this one's still very solid.

Standing On The Moon

Autzen Stadium - University of Oregon

Beautiful version of what IMHO is maybe their most perfect song. And Jerry's tone on the solo!
Samson and Delilah

Uni Dome, U of Northern Iowa

Just ridiculous. I need to check this whole show out; it seemed uninspired at first, but by the time Bobby comes back in, the whole band crackles with the sort of energy I always associate with a great show. edit: Good call on that matrix, great sound! The slow start is still pretty good, and the band is clearly eating their wheaties. Jerry. devours. this.

Some tender moments, some powerful ones. Keith seems to be having a good night, but the whole band plays as one.
Sugar Magnolia

Olympia Theater
