Boston Garden

Drums has a deep ambient gamelan jam between the BAM BAM intro and beam. Space is CD-ROM-era tones and vaporwave-core

The Same Thing

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

I have very little patience for Bobby blues - but Jerry and Vince are very present and riffing on this cut

Very well delivered - a few mumbled F bombs

Hampton Coliseum

Drums is very drippy and boom boom. Weird effects on space / phasery, flangery stuff. Very Frippertronics-like version. Transitions into Spanish Jam

Nassau Coliseum

Super floaty version with an uplifting MIDI flute solo at approx 5:30. Lovely Vince-era rendition.

Shoreline Amphitheatre

starts off a little too "Moby Dick" bombast for my taste, but by minute seven we get into a delicious vaporwave gamelan zone that is highly pleasing

Eyes > Fire is filthy. Centerpiece of a great set.
Playin' In The Band

Civic Center

Very heady mid-80s zone. Goes through many distinct improv portions. 20+ minute take of PITB.
Terrapin Station

Kiel Auditorium

Think that it's kind of criminal that this one isn't here already - this is among the most unique versions of Terrapin they played.

yes!! kermit-y Jerry vocals, but killer improv
