Jerry and Bobby create a beautiful space before TOO. A conversation in strings. Billy and Mickey create primal, carnivorous music. Hunting music.

What a crown jewel Pretty Peggy O can be. A truly tender version that washes away all my worries. These 74 versions are quite special.

The Dead take the Parisians through a cowboys surrealist day dream. Check out how both Keith and Jerry are utterly locked into the music.

1974 and Ship of Fools go together like peanut butter and jelly. Full of emotion. They're really giving their all in this.

The Other One

Jerry's phrasing is SUBLIME. Like shooting stars across the sky. Long and lengthy can really be fun especially with this band, but sometimes the more dense jams pack in a lot more in many different and subtle ways. Gets deep and dark before MAMU. Ghastly and spacey. Jerry's literally wailing on the guitar. Love the Macabre vibe this has. Love that one of the audience members ask something a long of the lines of "what song are they doing?" during the spacey sections. One of many ground zeroes for the band to explore more territories in. WRS dances all along the re entry from MAMU. Stunning and dark. Infatuating version.

DAYUM. Jerry the Ripper just chopping heads off near the end there. No Mercy going into the Other One. Fascinating. Also What a drums segment! Do not miss out on that.

Hints of psychedelia all throughout this ripper. Never gets too crazy while still retaining a lot of power. The music plays the band and it's just great hearing the band being able to just flow in such an organic way. The jam before the last verse is pure bliss. Great standalone version.

FenderShane great comment. Can't go wrong with the extra "band member" at all. Lovely interactive performance that has it all. Such an organic show.

This particular performance has the same energy as the song Eye of The Tiger in the best way possible. No idea why my brain works like that but let me know if anyone else feels the same with this particular performance Lol. Kickass version that makes you feel like you're boxing ring fighting for your life as you come out triumphant. Love Bobby's guitar work on this, and oh Jerry..just a blistering barn burning solo. Bluesyyyyyyy
