This one gets a vote just because of Keith. Vocals aren't as great as other nights but Keith (and of course Jerry) are on here especially

Black Peter

Fox Theatre

This is a spectacular version. Must-listen for Black Peter fans. I’m partial to the post hiatus versions with the longer jammed out piercing solo but Jerry sings this one so well and it feels So tightly and sweetly played with regards to the lyrical contents. A+ Dead

The Mosque

My long-time favorite is the Pemproke Pines version from 3 days prior and this one is right up there with it. Monster version. And sublime transitions

The transition outta GDTRFB is fantastic. And a real barn burner version

short but still perfectly jammed out. Great choice for an encore
