My birthday show (albeit a few years early). Worth it just to hear what comes out of Bobby's throat at the beginning of the song.

Set I ender from one of my favorite shows. Hot and tight.

From an all-around great show (the extra accent in the count-in must have caused some smiles)

It sounds like the boys gave a little extra on these "American" songs for their European fans.

Nice, tight version of a new American folk song.

I agree with the above, and want to add that if you love 80s releases and/or matrices, it's worth getting just to they put out more. /soapbox.

This is when I hear Garcia really stepping out and trying some new ideas, which infuses the rest of the night with some serious magic. Three songs in (and the first two ain't bad either!)!

It sounded like Jerry was a bit vocally fatigued, but then he kicked on the effects and shreds. Absolutely worth a listen.

Yes! Those are some great synth tones, and they mesh very well with the tone Garcia's dialing in tonight. Also some nice interplay between J G, Brent, and Bobby.

This whole thing is too funny in context.
