Listened back to this one recently. While I stand by my feelings on that 1st set, particularly the B1/2 & Prowler through DBK, the 2nd set shines really bright as well. Both sets are just so loose yet still played with such precision.

What a fun night!! :rocket: :rocket:

What does your memory say about the attempt at a Dance-y Uncle Wally?

I remember laughing at the time, but don’t remember much about how it sounded. Just one more reason I wish these Tapers Appreciation shows would get released it was a very special night, but so curious how it would hold up. They were def really dialed in for sure. There was 100% that energy in the room.

It’s kind of crazy that this has never been released at this point. Always wanted to hear it.
