They are just "on" this show. Killer Masterpiece. Great energy.

There's something about the aging in Jerry's voice that gives the song extra gravitas.

Real crisp version. Brent sounds like he's dropping pixie dust.

I remember being at this show and joking with my buddy about the that the song being played meant the band was dissolving. It still bugs me.

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?

An absolute ass-kicker!

Winterland Arena

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.
