This is when I thought the show locked in.

Jerry's just on fire throughout this whole show. They jam the beginning for a while before the first verse at a nice, brisk clip.

Bit slower than the ones I usually groove on, but Jerry's bounce started off a very fine day for me.

Nice shuffle. Jerry and Donna's vocals on this sound great (how many times can you find that?)

Not the best ever, but the live premiere. Listen to the AUD to hear the crowd flip!

I can't add anything new to what you've all said, but I full agree.

Thanks nonoyolker! I've got a hankering to explore, and I've learned a lot of great shows from this site. Care to recommend one of your favs?

I hate using the term "stand out" on a night when the entire band is playing *really* well collectively and individually, but this is absolutely a superior version. Many thanks for turning me onto this show!!

Nice reading. Slight misstep at the end of the solo, but that's me being super picky, and is the first possible one I've heard yet in the show. So glad you recommended this!!

Want to add something about Keith's playing on this... I don't know what rig he's on, but it sounds gnarly here.
