Can't believe they covered "I Could Never Take the Place" again. The one at Iroquois seemed like a once in a lifetime thing. One of my favorite Prince songs.

Dondante was 15 minutes of greatness and 6 minutes of "get on with it, Jim!" it's become a perfect bathroom break for me.
-It looks like they cut a song after the 21min Dondante. The guitar tech brought out a guitar and then took it back a couple songs later.
-What was Tom playing after the first part of Run Thru...what it the theme from Severance?
-I wonder if the recording is going to be incomplete due to the PA going out.
losing the PA for a few minutes sucked, but gave us one of those once-in-a-lifetime moments with that unplugged Bermuda Highway. glad i was close enough to hear it.
Agree. The 'noodling' (which is my classification for every Dead jam, lol) almost always finds an awesome riff they slide into, but yep it took awhile there last night.
ericm would have appreciated the 10 min PA drop and these guys not even flinching, playing straight through it and I assume ad libbing in the acoustic Bermuda Highway. That was incredible, Jim straining to be heard, the crowd helping with the chorus. PA kicking in just before it ended was perfection.
What other rock band tries to play through that? Without MFing the sound crew or something too.
