Bobby seems to be so on this night. Everybody seems to be taking his lead so far.

Heard this last night on the XM Dead Channel. Just classic high energy rock n roll!

Incredible duel between Jerry and Brent Jams! There is nothing in this world like that Hammond organ mixed with Jerry's MIDI

State Fairgrounds Coliseum

Jerry takes an energetic Scarlet into a mellow jazzy outro into a smooth transition into Fire then Phil starts raising the energy and the Fire grows..

Corals, totally agree! I was just listening to this tonight while stuck in traffic and almost hit the car in front of me while rocking out to that last jam!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Kezar Stadium

What is the thematic jam at the end of China? Is it Mind Left Body, Feeling Groovy, or something else that I have heard referenced but can't yet identify by ear?

Jerry is definitely taking the lead here but the notes that Bobby, Keith, and Phil are hitting are so spot on to accompany that journey that Jerry is leading that it just really takes your breath away. An almost perfect version. Great call!

Jerry's playing is so intense, it almost seems angry. Keith's key work is fantastic, especially in the energetic middle jam. Awesome transition into Eyes. Definitely deserves more votes but picking a favorite Estimated/Eyes from the 70's is like trying to name the favorite one of your kids.
