Listen to the SBD of this for a great example of Bobby's subtle, beautiful playing

Listen to how Jerry begins the second chorus of his solo. Brilliant. Mickey drives this hard too. Heat builds up in the set leading to this.

Solid version of this tune. Less of a trainwreck when played later in the set it seems.

First great post-coma moment. Phil is unbelievable throughout. Jerry's in it to win it. Check the SBD.

Beautiful searching, inquisitive solos, plus you get to hear Jerry telling us to get yourself a parking lot

Jerry kills the middle solo and the interplay between him and Weir at the end is fantastic

The jam after Ship of Fools will make you go wait a minute, and replay it from the beginning.

I love it when Jerry plays angry. Check out the power chords. The Rango aud is incredible sounding.
