Almost every song had a little extra over these 2 days.

This is a tremendous version. It sticks with focused theme for the first 13 minutes and then first verse. A chill DS theme continues on and then they start exploring at the 16 minute mark. It then gets out there for the last 8 minutes.

Coming in at over 14 minutes you could all this Morning Rat or Wharf Dew....I would have no issues with this being top 5...I do love the 77 New Mexico version, tho.
