Terrific jamming into fast-rocking Promised Land. First set opener. Great show.

Boisterous. Stomps out of the Wheel into a great Dew.

Follows a thunderous and fullPHILing Jack Straw!!! Brent's first show is a great one...

Rockin' energy! Not 10/10/82, but rises to the occasion......

Super super strong. Robust shredding. Methodical but wild, lumbering but savage. Could be number one stand-alone Stephen of '77... (though close to 5/5). Bonus tracks of Dick's 10, with sick '77 Estimated-Eyes, into rocking Sugar Mags. Reality is, nothing was finer than the finest Stephen-Elevens, as gorgeous and perfect a fit as anything, a marriage equal to Scarlet-Fire, China-Rider.... But this is nice and long and epic and close enough to pretend.... (though Stephen-NFA-Stephen was a great pair, too...! Shoulda done it more...) And Wolf was ridiculous, gave him that raw Heavy Metal lightning.......

Just remembered! This is already released on 30 Trips... but still, Europe 90 Box would be nice....

Totally wonderful. As powerful as any of the 80s-90s. And a great reason for a Europe 90 box.....
