Surprising this one doesn't get more dap, because it is a creamy ride through the cosmos. Far more mellow than some of the angular versions from tour, this one is a relaxing sonic cushion to float through deep space. Love it

Back again on this one. Keith absolutely CHEWING up the scenery. So chunky on the boards. Choice doesn't begin to describe
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

Capitol Theater

Often a plug and play, obligatory closer, but this one is different. Band attacks with insane fervor and energy. Colossal high energy closer to an incredible show.

Awesome beyond measure. Magnificent, blissful peak, then breaks free completely from the song convention for deep exploration, landing after a serious manic moment, softly, into Playin' reprise. Shocking this one has so few votes.
Playin' In The Band
Dec. 28, 1979
Oakland Auditorium

Remains a SERIOUS deep space venture to the cosmos. Really, really far out jam, while staying melodic with no frantic cacophonous breakdown. Perplexing why this isn't showed more love.
