Starts this epic show off right and then into a crazy Franklins!

Some early lyrical flubs, but otherwise a gorgeous version!

I know this show is about the O1>Dew, but the final solo is so crisp and bright.

No one seems to know how good this show is. Its a classic from 72 with big versions of all the great ones.

Gave it another listen. This is as good as it gets. The highlight is at about the 24 minute mark when things are pretty chill and then DS theme just comes out of nowhere as they finally get to the first verse. The 5 minutes after just showcases Jer's great guitar work. Not to mention its a really nice jazzy DS in the prior 24 mins. This one is way too under the radar to be sitting at 16 votes. Oh yeah...and the transition into Cumberland is perfect!

This is a top-notch 30 minute Playin. This may be the highlight of DaP11. I keep coming back to this over and over. Its Jazzy...it has tiger moments...and no apparent feedback waste of time.

What makes this medley amazing is not just how cool it is from a setlist standpoint, but the transitions almost bring tears to your eyes. In addition, each song by itself is epic regardless of the medley. What a special night!
