Perfect for those of you who don’t want the complete set, but for whom six shows just isn’t enough! Besides the excellent performances in the regular West’s Best package, this features four more outstanding concerts that are sure to make you smile.
The Cleveland show (CD304) was memorable for a version of “The Sky Is Crying” that the band played in the midst of a raging thunderstorm. The jam lovers will enjoy hot versions of “Instrumental Illness” and “Mountain Jam” from this night. The Mansfield show (CD324) has a spectacular “Ain’t Wastin’ Time No More” with some of Derek’s finest slide playing, plus a great double encore of “Preachin’ Blues” and “Whipping Post.”
The Green Bay casino show (CD326) is truly unique, with an intimate vibe that adds a lot to songs like “Stormy Monday” and “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed.” Check out the opening salvo of “Statesboro Blues” and “Wasted Words.” The Rosemont show (CD327) featured a great “Desdemona” and one of the most unique sequences of the year, “No One To Run With>Jabuma>Bass>Jessica.”
Almost 24 hours of great music, but we recommend that you spread it out over more than one day or your brain might explode! Check out the individual show for each night's description.
