Gold Dust Woman 1997 vs. 2013

[dontlookdown]

I remember being impressed with the version of Gold Dust Woman from The Dance tour.
I considered it to be the best version of the song that I had ever seen.
Up until now.
When I saw a video of GDW from the show they did in Phoenix last year, I was even more impressed.
And amazed at how differently they were playing.
The way they stretch out on the song, almost in a Grateful Dead kind of way, makes the 1997 version seem very rehearsed and a little boring.
I think this might be the best youtube video from the 2013 tour. I can't stop watching it:
