A real pressure cooker here – gotta share that kind nod for this ’83 energy.

Okay then, I will begin. Had the pleasure of being there. Ho-hum, you say? Achooo! The preceding space is intense, building to a frenzy, at which point the Other One rises from the floor onstage like a fiery geyser, Bobby having helped coaxed its birth by circling around the epicenter. Cool to be behind the stage sometimes. Warpy effects return between the verses. Very well executed. As a whole show, this one is strong throughout -- lots of highlights, check out the "inside-out" Deal: unique. So fortunate to have experienced this ho-hummage. Road Trips indeed;)
