Coliseum Stadium

Underrated China>Rider featuring this magnificent Feelin' Groovy jam - you think it's gonna end but they just rip it for another climax. What a treat!

Starts off choppy with Jerry forgetting lyrics but by "Throw me in the jailhouse" the band is in fine form

Strong post-hiatus version - Phil thundering away on this one. Love how Jerry belches out "BOYS sing 'round the fire"

When this show inevitably gets released this will finally get the love and attention it deserves. For now, rest easy my child with only 5 votes

Underrated as hell. The whole sequence of He's Gone>Truckin'>O1>Wharf>Row Jimmy deserves to be heard in its entirety

Capital Centre

Extremely solid show opener - vocals and playing are on point
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
