The first set opens with a leisurely "Don't Ease Me In," setting a relaxed tone reminiscent of 12/5/71. The crowd's energy is palpable, fueling a fiery "Me and My Uncle > Big River." Jerry's guitar soars, while Bobby's vocals drive the audience into a frenzy.

The second set kicks off with an outstanding "Shakedown Street," where Jerry's ear-numbing jams and Phil's quirky bass bombs create a unique effect. The energy remains high with a nearly perfect "Jack Straw," followed by a bouncy "Stagger Lee."

The band delves into the extended jam portion with "Estimated Prophet," showcasing Jerry and Phil's improvisational prowess as they transition into "Eyes of the World." The joyous nature of "Eyes" gives way to a haunting "Drums" segment for Billy's birthday.

An eerie "Space" follows, and John Cipollina joins for "Not Fade Away," adding depth to the dance-inducing jams. Bobby's vocal antics lead into a poignant "Black Peter," with its sorrowful finale, before the set concludes with a high-energy "Around and Around."
