In addition to the great playing throughout this first set, you can grin at the several musical references to the Derby that the boys threw in.

Light first half of a titanic encore. The anniversary's coming up, might as well give the show a listen...

I know most folks are indifferent re this song, but this type of mid-tempo bouncing shuffle is one of the things I love most about this band.

Great vocal outro—listen to Brent! The jam is also several minutes of nasty funk.

Maybe they're arguing that if they *had* played it, it would have been the best? Maybe there's a mysterious "lost set" out there with an even longer Dark Star? "I heaad a clip of it once, mannnn, it was killer."
