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

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.

Killer version -- you got it on the head with the strong VINCE comment. He's great on this one. I love how delicate it is. One thing I have to mention is that Mickey triggers a sample of a loon call at a few moments during the song. Very cool and atmospheric. On AUDS you can hear the crowd going wild during the final TERRAPINs

Really a continuation of the Dark Star -- but one of the wackiest sets in the later years.

Jerr sounding like papa death on the vocals, but this is some of the looniest tunes in the catalog.
