all ginned up

since one of my favorite tunes of the phish oeuvre got a retooling saturday night in Wookster, I submit what i consider a top-shelf gin of the highest quality, albeit as a remastered AUD.  Disclosure: I was present for the show at the dust-pit known as Portland Meadows, and every relisten gives me goosebumps, not only for flashing back to that time and space, but in response to the effortless majesty of this rendering.  the hose was flowin, mainlining pure musical qi from the universe to our souls. so give it a whirl! and thanks for drivin Jeff!
