Five Seasons Center

Solid and energetic. Wraps up a lively pre-drums part of 2nd set. Interesting jam at the end. Phil sounds like he wants to go Other One, never does.

Fast. Fast. Fast. Cokey version seems like it's playing in fast forward. '84 is so unique and magical/dreamy sometimes.

I Need A Miracle

Rich Stadium

Not a big fan of this song usually, but this one's hot. On the 4th of july, short, sweet, everybody's into it. Comin' out of The Wheel and into UJB.

Nice one, rising out of a cool Playin' and getting it's own groove on. Featured on Go to Nassau.

Show really comes to life for me here. Kicks into overdrive with Bird Song, then real nice second set from Shakedown all the way through.

Dark Star

Very underrated Dark Star. A good one, and not just for the era; goes a lot of places, both strange and beautiful.
