Highlights for me were Bobby's voice bouncing around the hall and Jerry's super sweet tone.

Quick tempo and nice bounce, with some great band support under Jerry's triplet ideas during the solo.

Even the "Drums" from this show is a step-above, and > "Wheel."

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

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.
