Don't sleep on this one - the band is firing on all cylinders to cover this lovely Dylan song

Really fascinating space/jam after drums, lots of other one hints that ends in an abrupt NFA transition

Phil-tastic - some vocal miscues but excellent regardless

This one will knock your socks off - heady version and a nice mix!
West L.A. Fadeaway

Saenger Performing Arts Center

Very nice early Fadeaway, the first highlight of this show for me so far. Very uneven energy in this first but this Fadeaway rocks!

Hello KEITH! The man is on fire!

Wow...totally overlooked. Literally the second vote smh. I know people have varied opinions on Jerry's MIDI experiments in the late 80's to 90's but the horn sound in the start just really gets me going here. The ultramatrix is UNBELIEVABLY good - one of the best recordings you can find. Band is in TOP shape despite the shaky start to Half-Step

"well WHAT THE FUCK" - Bobby "That's what happens when you play too loud" - Jerry, grinning ear to ear probably
