Dark, explorative, and quick paced. Cool stuff here, not to mention the Wheel which proceeds and the jamming that snakes its way through all of set2

Whoa! That first solo is when Garcia is just getting starting, just listen to his excitement going into that following verse. Then of course the rest of the team pick up on all that energy and lead it to magnificence!

Some guy in the audience sounds like he's about to lose his shit as their doing that quiet build out of DS and into the opening of St Stephen. I would too after hearing everything that preceded!

Wild energy, great builds, fantastic second set opener. This whole show is just full of a fun, upbeat, jammin' vibe, I love it. Really... CHECK IT OUUUT!

Sweet intro jam! Such an odd tempo to try and shift an improvisation into, but the boys sure did it splendidly!
