The show kicks off with Hell In A Bucket. And the first half unrolls from there in splendid fashion. Bobby plays well throughout the night, and there is so much interplay between Brent and Jerry as they push each other on jam after jam. And while a Victim> Foolish Heart closer might not make anyone’s dream setlist, this one is something special.

Scarlet Begonias opens the second half. And while the song is hot from the beginning, the jam at the end is positively incendiary. The Fire On The Mountain that follows keeps it going, blasting into the stratosphere immediately after the first verse and never looking back. Estimated, with Bobby’s vocals as impassioned as ever, then leads to Crazy Fingers. There, Jerry’s voice is ragged, but his playing makes up for it and more, especially in the enchanting jam that takes it to Drums. Out of Space, Brent takes a short turn on I Will Take You Home before the band launches into Going Down The Road Feeling Bad. And the high energy rocking continues on Miracle. Then, the Dead switch gears, turning to an incredible Stella with a towering, feverish solo. But before anyone can even catch their breath, the band is off on a scorching Not Fade Away. At the end, the audience keeps the NFA chant going right until the boys start tuning for the encore. And at this point, the Dead turn to Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door, delivering a soaring version to close the door on SPAC.
