Drums -> Space

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

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

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

Needs much much more love -- amazing amazing improvisation in this one. Goes off into a very 74 PITB direction, but with the amazing breadth of tones 94 offers. Beautiful, should be a top 25 version.

sounds amazing in the RFK boxset. Is that a thunderstorm I hear or is Mickey triggering a sample from his electronics?
