Short rocker with expanded forces. Killer.

Can't believe this isn't on here. Worth hearing for what Hornsby plays behind Bobby, much less Branford.

Comes out of a powerful early "TOO."

New Minglewood Blues

Boston Garden

There's a reason they opened the next night with this tune

very solid extended choruses from Garcia. Keith and drummers keep ending vocals from dragging or seeming repetitive.

every version from this tour is too short and fast for my preference, but Garcia and Keith interactions give this a boost. Nice ending jam as well.

Surprised to find this so far down the list. Soaring Garcia leads, fully present Keith.

Also wanted to bitch about the "Sugar Magnolia" without posting it. Heavy and plodding, not even the song itself is performed well. Wtf happens here? Decent Garcia lead helps keep this from being a total wash, but might be one of the worst performances of anything I've heard from this month.
