Goode. E: Golden Road. I did Newport/Pittsburgh/DC in the recent run of shows and considered the elective in Pittsburgh the best show of the three. This fact sparked a thought--what other well played/constructed electives have I seen throughout the years? I know some that prefer their DSO as recreations, I don't mind electives, let them play what they want. Scanning setlists, came across this gem, which is so absurd I had to share. Have a memorable elective? Feel free to share. Praise DSO.

Two long winding setlists, including several interesting placements, delivered with gusto by our favorite band. First taken out smoothly, business picked up with the Jack Straw, Eyes, a tasty combination. Stand alone Scarlet wrapped in Playin' feels like a rarity, the end of the Playin' I thought had a little HTH jam etched in before the bump into Scarlet. Second a roller coaster of tempo, Prefer my Pete in the slow Jerry spot. Big River crushed. Super sandwich closing sequence a ride upon itself. Hopeful for GDTR at the end of Truckin', and was thrilled when it surfaced after Other One. US Blues perfection bow wrap on the day at the beach. Praise DSO.
