Less delicate than many of the top rated, but part of nice sequence that hints at the full set jams to come next month.

Oh no question, but it's nice that it has some company!

cgarces, you might like this one. I know you don't avoid the later ones and appreciate a nice S>F. I've read that some consider this the last great show, and there is def. some X factor here. Also a few weeks before another great version I think you know, and I believe this one hits a similar vein.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Jam of the Week so I gave it a spin. This is a pretty decent version, cgarces, you should give this a listen!
Cumberland Blues

Stanley Theatre

The > out of the DS is really cool. Billy and Phil are there while Jerry and Bobby are still returning to earth, and after some vamping, the thing takes off and cooks. Never heard a Cumberland quite like this one.

Goes off the rails quickly. Dark, brooding, intense jamming. Forgot they hadn't even played the first verse in that long excursion. Top notch stuff.
