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.

The jam has some elements of a '74 before rolling into UJB.

Agreed, this one reaaly could be much higher. It's amazing that the band would bang out this monster version, as an encore, after such an epic high-energy ahow.

There is something in the air during this 2nd set. Jerry tears things up.
