Deal

The Palladium

Indeed it is! Jerry steps out of his usual patterns some in the first solo, which is extended to a decent length. Keith in particular elevates this version.

Cool effects from Keith during the breakdown, and the crowd eats this one up. Very high energy!
The Other One

The reprise is worth a comment as well because of the delicate transition from "Comes a Time." The matrix really captures the decrescendo before the move back to major and the song’s main theme.
Comes A Time

Jerry’s tone is liquid silver. Nice harmonies from Donna, Keith supporting Jerry’s guitar lines, rhythm section keeps everything from dragging (no small feat, considering how slow they’re playing).
Playin' In The Band

The Palladium

Phil playing some cool descending lines in cyclic patterns of changing lengths. Slow and exploratory full band playing (although it’s hard to pick Keith out of the matrix on the Archive, and he’s been shining the full show before this). Jam never moves aimlessly; gains momentum towards “Drums,” but seems to fall into it.
