Incendiary second solo becomes delicate and beautiful before they build the final refrain.

You can't compare 70s Deals w/ late 1980 onward. There's a four minute shredded 2nd solo on this one that wasn't a part of Deal in its 1st decade.

This is the first one with the second solo, revamped for the 15th anniversary.

Pre rio grandeo is good, but there are two peaks post rio grandeo, one built off the other and the latter crashes into Franklin's Tower.

A fluttery and lyrical solo after the bridge and then an autobiography of an outro. There is a video on YouTube.

Yep, a dead show in the middle of the Susquehanna river. If there's anyone out there from the philly media market, this is a video of a young Nora Muchanic reporting on the '83 show on city island: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rV14pcJK0fU

Most definitely. The second solo break is tremendous and you can hear the crowd realize what they just heard. This is excellent.

I love this one. The spacey section before the outro is tight.
