    I just listened to this show on a drive from Chicago to Milwaukee. It was a warm, rainy morning, but this Alpine show's first set brought the sun out. Unbelievable energy from Jerry and the crew, and this recording really captures it. Set 1 just seems to get better and better, without stopping. Driving through that southern Wisconsin fog and listening to "I wish I was a headlight..." is the best way to end a set. Set 2 is great, and with a fine encore.

    Why you need to own this show: 1. Best Lost Sailor>St. of Circ. I've ever heard...no s***. 2. The boys are "on" 3. Truckin - The intro is a circus theme (you'll know it when you hear it) that I've not heard them do before. Also, Jerry and Phil are totally on the same page (takes a trained ear to hear this) and Bobby flubs so many versus it's great. He actually sings "Ever since she went and had her SEX Changed, all her friends can say is ain't it a shame, it just aint the same".
