The first night was hit with a wind storm and there were sound problems for the crowd so a soundboard tape might sound better than what was heard at the show and on the audience tape. The first night's show is pretty good featuring good versions of Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo, Peggy-O, Black-Throated Wind, Crazy Fingers->Playing In The Band and a rare China Doll.
The second night opens with a classic Jack Straw->Sugaree the band has clearly found it's vibe. Tonight's blues song, Wang Dang Doodle, gives everyone a chance to cut loose and groove. High Time is a nice Jerry ballad and works well here. The Maggie's Farm is nice and gives everyone a chance to sing a verse while Cumberland Blues features some tasty licks. The Cassidy->Don't Ease Me In end the first set and are very well played.
The second set opens with a great, jammy Eyes Of The World into a rocking Way To Go Home. The Truckin'->Smokestack Lightning jam is played to perfection before going into a massive Terrapin Station. The weather hadn't been the greatest and now we're beginning to get a lightning storm overhead which runs through the Drums->Space->Spanish Jam->I Need A Miracle. The Standing On The Moon is very good and One More Saturday Night is one of the best. The Knockin' On Heaven's Door is as good as the rest of the show.
The third show opens with an over the top version of Help On The Way/Slipknot->Franklin's Tower followed by a hot New MInglewood Blues. It Must Have Been The Roses is pretty and was a bit of a rarity by this time. Queen Jane Approximately is very good and features nice solos by both Vince and Jerry. Bird Song contains so more fantastic jamming and the set closer of Picasso Moon is both and and unusually placed.
The second set kicks off with a very good Scarlet Begonias->Fire On The Mountain. The Man Smart, Woman Smarter is pretty nice and is followed by a sweet So Many Roads. Saint Of Circumstance is energetic before flowing into a mellow He's Gone. Drums is very good and the Space is out there before turning into a moving Attics Of My Life. Steve Miller who was the opening act then joins the cast for the remainder of the set. Spoonful is good and it's easy enough so that Steve can play along. The Other One->Morning Dew proves to be more of a challenge but thankfully he keeps to the background for the most part. The same can be said for the encore of Baba O'Riley->Tomorrow Never Knows.
All in all, a fantastic run with the shows turning out to be some of the best of the '90's!!!
