A great one from summer '90. Vocals are crisp, musically the organ work is great and the band is tight and all in the flow.

Jerry solo for most of it with some effects from time to time. Unique. And then it goes into Dew

This song is not really in a "heady" format, but I always liked it as a 1st set tune. This version is well.played as is this show.

Yes 1984. I love the ups that happen in this year. This version has a lot of great energy from the boys. Mid-song solo is very strong.

There are those shows that you can tell the boys came out to rock from the moment they stepped on stage. One of the indicators is there would be almost no tuning up and then BAM! This sounds like one of those types of shows. This Shakedown has a very grungy beginning and then proceeds to rock out all the way through.

Give me fall and winter '81 all day long. The band was tiiight and consistent with it during this period. I like the spacey pre-drums jam this Eyes melts into.

What a great, great opener. Phil lays it all out as he did all that summer.

Paced like an early 70"s version. To these ears, just exactly perfect. Ok, maybe a tick fast, but excellent.

Love this first set full of heady's. Thoughtful emotive solo in this one..
