Awesome version. Bob basically takes lead on the transition. Pretty cool playing by him. Worth a listen.

I love Deals from the 90's. They get jammed out to the max. This one is no different.

Greek Theater

What a trip, but this is one song that the difference between a 70's version and 80's version is such a huge gap. Still must have been awesome to see, though. Here it has the 6th best ranking of all time...lol.

Still think 2/13>5/2, but this is a beast!
Jack Straw

The Spectrum

Spot on! Great lengthy mid jam that is super hot and then nail the Jack Straw from Wichita.....This version could easily be top 5 for these reasons.
