This Bertha cooks. Definately deserves to be here. Jerry forgets the last verse, but the less Jerry sings, the more Jerry plays.

Not as good as the shrine, but has its amazing moments.

As heartfelt as the Europe versions. Worth a listen. Lots of epic stuff on DP 23.

Freedom says it all. Its amazing the level they played with all night including the 47 minute DS to Mister Charlie. I do think they were a little tired during UJB, tho.
Playin' In The Band

I need to listen to this show at least once a month. Good place to start is this compact Playin' opener. Just sets the tone for the whole epic night. The thing gets tiger before you can get your first sip of scotch in. Its tight...its hot and then finishes with a forceful playin' theme!

Thanks for pointing out. Tremendous version. Definitely can hang with 8/27.

Beast version from a summer tour with great S/F's...Deer Creek and Pine Knob. This 2 show run has some unbelievable setlists, but some great playing too.
