Overall this show isn't a standout, but I love me some nice space. Also dig the "Dark Star" teases at the end!

Worth it to hear what Bobby does to sweet Jane... you'll know it when you hear it. Worth a giggle.

Jerry plays some nice angular lines (ex. first solo), and this features a decent vocal performance.

Everything from this night is well above average. And listen to Keith!

I agree with the comments on Set II. I was a long time fan of the "NFA" from Barton Hall, but this might top it...

Would love an AUD or matrix of this...

Listened to this on NYE. Dimly remember some sweet major-chord jamming, something that got dark, some electronic jamming that scared me (maybe the trippiest thing I've ever heard), and coming out of it through the "Eyes" and "China Doll. Powerful stuff.

Wow, nice version. Just streamed part of the show before and after this, and I'm going to need to revisit this in a serious way. Heard there's a top-notch matrix of this, working on the download now... (edit) This is a superior version. Doesn't lose its place or get self-indulgent.
