Smokin' encore. You know the playing was hot when even this is a scorcher.

Smokin little number boosts the second set.

New Minglewood Blues

Bobby seems on this whole night, and Jerry's tone is unreal.

One of the first Dead songs I ever heard way back in the day. Kicks off a raging Set II.

Fantastic version. I got turned on to the show from the previous night which is also killer and absolutely worth checking out.

Nice slow groove. Great boogie groove with good lyrical Garcia. Upvote.

Overall I thought most of the first set was pretty bland, and while the second set got off to a slow start, it features some good playing. If you're a fan of this tour, this ending sequence is worth checking out.

Overall this show isn't great, but Brent is a man possessed, and his solo and scatting are why I posted this. Worth going through this tour just to hear Brent!
