Great guitar work highlights this version, Jerry is dialed in from the get-go. Great show.

Posted the wrong date before; anyway, this is a scorcher.

Don't sleep on this one - super dark and intense version.

Great version that gets really spooky towards the end. Very nice exploratory passages with Jerry, Brent and the Devils especially shining.

An utterly whacked out version. Healy's vocal effects are just plain weird.

I just listened to this show in full the other day...it's brilliant. So tight and clean. Brent went out on top. This "Truckin'" is a monster. Great jam into a killer "Smokestack."

This is as good as this song gets. Flawless rendition. Jerry gets the lyrics right and delivers them with confidence.

Bobby's support behind Jerry's absolutely brilliant transition solo is heavenly.

Bob's vocals are so ballsy here! Great jam, too.

Only 11 minutes into this one and already I've been transported.
