Freedom Hall

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.

Garcia's voice actually sounds pretty good tonight, and he's clearly glad to be singing throughout this whole show.

Kick ass version and very little slide-town Bobby? Hell yes.
Caution

Silver Dollar Fair

Also, the feedback that happens after is a must hear. Very musical and has the pure crystalline quality of warm cosmic whale song.

Silver Dollar Fair

A very good version. Everything before and after the atrocious sound in the middle of the set should be heard.
