Unusual, long Space for the era. Fans of Feedback will enjoy this one.

Carnival of sounds and textures. Wild stuff.

Pummeling version with Phil cranked UP in the mix.

The whole band creates a seamless, burbling groove. (Listen for Phil pushing through the small spaces Bobby leaves.) Mesmerizing.

The short, country-style numbers sound so good in this set. There's a lot of good music in this show even before the big jams arrive.

Such a pure, sparkling, exuberant version. I’m in love.

I’m with the yeasayers on this one. This magnificent version is perhaps my favorite of the year. It stays remarkably engaging throughout. Several of its individual jamming episodes alone would put this one high on the list, but taken together? This is the real deal.

Includes some jamming in D before the transition to China Doll. Stellar version from an A-grade show.

The execution here is just about pristine.
