Winterland Arena

Filter attack on the bridge, contrasts well with the burst-into-flames version from the night before

Long Beach Arena

Clean and exploratory, with active Brent, yet not as telepathic as others

Quite enthusiastic/ recording is crip --- test me, test me... BOOM!

Elastic and lilting drive – perfect for those somersaulting leads out of the halfpipe

Was just minding my own business, listening to GD when I got mugged by this version!

6/19 perhaps, though not 23 mins. Fanfrickintastic! - as the description says.

Oklahoma City Fairgrounds Arena

As this transition gets going, Phil tosses on the cordwood. As Jerry’s flames begin to emerge and reach upward, Keith’s sprinklings rise like sparks, while Billy’s rhythmic pulses seem to synchronize the whipping of the flames. And Bob, yeah, he’s like a bellows pumping oxygen into this thing the whole time. Brilliant bonfire. Step back and enjoy the heat.
