Sweet show opener where the *whole* band is on - even as an AUD only you can clearly hear the entire band

Hartford Civic Center

A rare Spanish Jam without Jerry, but Bobby, Brent, and Phil make it sweet nonetheless

Short but blazing - a personal favorite. Brent's Hammond truly makes this shine. He's Gone>O1 is just such an awesome combo

To add on to Bcarters comment, there is a lovely medley around 8-11 min into Dark Star where they flow from MLB jam>Other One jam>DS first verse. Very cool indeed
