More insane back and forth between Bobby and Jerry and Brent.

Really rips. Wish there were finer copies of this show, but compared to how we used to listen on 23rd generation TDK tapes...LOL! S'all good....

Shoreline Amphitheatre

I Will Take You Home is not listed anywhere here and that needs to be fixed. This is a beautiful Peter, coming out of a shred-fest of a Watchtower…. But….. Brent’s gorgeous, heartbreaking ballad is what gets this sequence rolling, with some subtle and profound MIDI work from Jerry. I completely forgot I Will Take You Home was nowhere to be found here. Out of respect for Brent and the band, we should be able vote on our favorites….. It was often the pivot of some very fine shows!!

Grate late 80s NFA! Yes, there is a really weird, funky quasi-Foolish Heart jam in there. It packs a punch! Coincidentally, it happens on the exact one year anniversary of that tune’s first appearance…..
Caution

Wembley Empire Pool

Fiery, fierce, ferocious…… segues from a brilliant and beautiful Dark Star-Sugar Mags. Entire trilogy is magnificent.
