Thunderous. Holy hell, the boys are cooking here. Bobby wailing his lungs out while they lay down some explosive playing.

Coming in hot out of Space, this Fantasy absolutely rips. Jerry is shredding all over and Brent sounds great.

standard fare until some psychedelic Beam slapping from Mickey matched with syncopated tribal madness, crescendos into a warm and dissonant Space

Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance

Aladdin Theater

Gorgeous set 2 opener, dreamy Sailor, powerful Saint, Brent sounds incredible. Interesting to play this before Scarlet/Fire in the set

Always a hard sequence to really nail, but they destroy it on this one. Definitely worth checking out.

Mississippi River Festival

Might be one of the best solos Jerry ever performed. Immaculate and understated.
