In addition to the great playing throughout this first set, you can grin at the several musical references to the Derby that the boys threw in.

Light first half of a titanic encore. The anniversary's coming up, might as well give the show a listen...

I know most folks are indifferent re this song, but this type of mid-tempo bouncing shuffle is one of the things I love most about this band.

Jerry totally bungles the riff into Slipknot, but then recovers for a great jam.

Just wanted to tell you I tuned into your radio show last week! I couldn't hear it all (streaming problems), but loved what I could hear! Sweet job man.

Oh shit how have I not commented on this sooner? This is a killer jam and all-time stuff. I've dug this for a long time and it holds up. Does not disappoint.
