This entire show, especially second set, feels like the true Brent tribute. First after his death, Bob's singing is beautiful, band playing impeccably

Simply put, incredible. Second one after Brent's death, Vince only still. Really excellent playing on everyone's part, even Vince is trying to dig in

They don't call it a Throw>Away encore for no reason - decent end but no real jamming highlights

Top notch Wharf takes me by surprise, especially this Vince solo show. Jerry is emotive when he sings, good sign

The Omni

LTGTR>Stranger Opener, classic. If you're not a fan of the Vince sound this might be a little off but its HOT regardless
Loose Lucy

Coliseum Arena

Strong West Coast (best coast) Loose Lucy. Really builds up till the end, wonderful version
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 24, 1991
Sandstone Amphitheatre

Phil leads the band. Everyone contributes which can be a bit overwhelming but a nice straightforward China>Rider nonetheless
