Red Rocks Amphitheatre

This one takes a bit before the boys get their footing, but once they do, LOOK OUT. Choice peak in this throbber

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

SCREAMING start to the show. Boys attack like rabid dogs. Great Brent solo in here. Welcome to Red Rocks!

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

This one opens up nicely, and continually unfolds, into a seamless segue into PITB reprise

Boutwell Auditorium

They are playing in Birmingham, the song mentions Birmingham, mass crowd hysteria ensues. Hot version though, so justifiable

Fox Theatre

Really melodic jam, which builds incrementally in velocity and intensity - then, screaming sunshine daydream

I love this second set so much. Gorgeous crazy fingers. Fluid and crystalline

Suuuuper clean version. Bouncy, melodic
Bird Song

Madison Square Garden

Gorgeous, floating along like a leaf on the wind
Dark Star

Family Dog at the Great Highway

I've been listening to this one a ton since the recent Dave's release. Such a beautiful, multi-thematic, exploratory version. And YES, the feeling > tighten jam is pure dead wizardry
Doin' That Rag
March 1, 1969
Fillmore West

^Totally agree with Top Binus above. Such a shame this track was confined to '69. I'm also consistently amazed at how much they pack into ~6 min. This one has a fantastic little groove at the end
