Note: This version contains patches from ID-119976 that make the show complete;
Passenger entire track, Althea 6:04 > 7:40, Space 5:24 > 6:14, and Space 7:12 >
Drums 4:19. ID-119976 material was remixed to eliminate a phase issue, fix as many
of the digi-pops as possible, and adjust some EQ. On Richie's source, left channel
gain was increased, a few small edits, and two cross-fades added. Thanks Richie!

This show is pretty amazing. There's so much energy, and Jerry sounds just so into it. The first set starts out pretty normal, although there's an unusual lick at the start of the jam in Tennessee Jed which hints what's to come. The show really takes off with an amazing, jammed-out Let It Grow, and it maintains that level the rest of the way.

The Scarlet/Fire transition jam is one of the best I've heard. There are a number of times when it sounds like it might veer off into something else, but eventually, it comes back to a smoking Fire. The solo in Saint of Circumstance is longer than usual, and it feels like it's ready to explode at times. After the song, Jerry hangs out and jams with the drummers for a bit.

The Spanish Jam is also pretty twisted (in a good way, of course). The Other One is nicely jammed out for an '81 version. The solo in the middle of Stella simply soars. The set closes with a very hot Sugar Mag.
