The ending jam or reprise jam is excellent and smokes like all the good ones do!

Powerful version. Everything from this night had to be shortened due to Janis playing later.

Another great one from May 1977. Certainly as good as the others. Maybe most consistant song of the tour.

This one is a beaut.
Caution

Rotterdam Civic Hall

FYI... this show that should be in everyone's top 10 is 25% off at dead.net. It includes an amazing analysis of the 46 minute DS that is spot on and helps with understanding all the themes of the epic DS. This Caution is one of the best, also.

This one is a classic from a classic show.

This DS is not for everyone. I do believe that it requires multiple listens to really respect how complex it is with its multiple themes. I can see after one listen that it may not be for everyone. It does deserve respect in GD lore, though. The first 13 minutes is pure DS theme.
