Fantastic jam. Everyone looks alive. Bobby and Brent drive it.

One of the best I've ever heard. Jerry is on fire, Bobby sings great, and drummers are right there.

Jerry has to be feeling it for this tune to work and he's on fire here

Sneaky, searching solo is worth a listen.

Tempo is too fast but Jerry's playing in the jam is sick.

Uptempo version with Jerry on fire.

One of the great things about Jerry is his fuck it attitude when he forgets lyrics. Here he goes into an extended, unique solo. When he does sing there's an interesting sad quality to his voice. Coda is burning.

They sound happy to be back
Fire On The Mountain

Sphinx Theatre

Everyone sounds great here. Love the chromatic intro. This show is underrated because of the mythology of the Dead blowing the big ones. The first show was awful, the second one was bad, and this one was awesome.
