2
Looks Like Rain
Flawless, emotive rendition, plus some mixing board wizardry; result is best heard on audience-recorded versions.
19
Shakedown Street
Super funky with loads of Phil n Jerry spewing notes. The whole band connects in the funk groove and this smokes.
4
Cassidy
Beautifully sung by Brent and Bobby, and the jams are just fantastic, you can hear Jerry bubbling during the lyrics just waiting to b able to take off
3
Box of Rain
Absolutely wonderful encore, Phil is in great form and the band is cooking behind him, another great 1986 Box
2
Sugar Magnolia
Things get more aggressive during SSDD.
1
I Need A Miracle
Bob's voice is starting to go out, but he delivers the goods regardless.
1
Big Railroad Blues
Long instrumental break, with Jerry jamming his butt off, hitting many peaks.
2
Estimated Prophet
Awesome version with Bobby all but blowing his voice out on the screams. On 30 Days of Dead sandwiched between Shakedown and Eyes.
2
Eyes Of The World
Typically fast but very lively and fluidly jammed version.
