Great
This show was unexpectedly awesome. The crowd for some reason had locked into the NFA chant and wouldn't let it go during set break. So the boys gave us

what we wanted and opened the second set with NFA with a neat little seque into Scarlet. Good times.
oh, this was really good especially LIVE NFA>Scarlet

Solid late '80's show..
that's about it, the band had nothing like the power of '85 but a good run nonetheless. This show had some good moments but really doesn't go anywhere.
...
Like most of '87-'90.

Sweet version with alot of passion. The ups and downs coupled with the harmonies is just about as perfect as you can/could get. Enjoy the ride.

top 10 shows
One of the top 10 shows of all time. The energy poring off that stage could have lit NYC for days if not Months. To give this anything less than 5 stars

Charmingly appealing
1st Set: After being in the city for at least 4 days, could they really still feel like "Stranger"s? Maybe all of this time away from home is wearing especially
...
thin... It's slinky but middling and slight. "Franklin's" is is quiet and respective, but not noteworthy. Yea Brent, tell us how you're feeling...like hell, huh? Well, you're sounding A-Ok during a spicy "Never Trust." Standout perf. An extended (almost 5 minutes) simple, spiffy "Big Railroad" follows. Despite a muddled beginning "Memphis Blues" is standard. "Stagger" is also polite, quite easy to listen to, but not a full meal. "Promised" is equally as casual though it heats up in the last minute. 2nd Set: Those drum beats sound awfully like 'Man Smart' but at :15 the subtle momentum makes itself fully pronounced as it's all about "Not Fad(e)ing Away." They run through a slightly askew and screeching boogie jam that adeptly segues into "Scarlet." A insistingly happy easy to like version that doesn't allow its minor excursions to prevent from seguing into "Fire" at 6:30. Yes, Jerry flies on his magic carpet all throughout the three's. The second jam in the sixes is more delicate and features odd bird-calls xylos by Mick. There's our "Man Smart" Brent owns that second verse, his voice sounds clear and high-pitched as if he still had his long hair from the early 80s...Oopsy Bobby at 2:46, a round too soon...but he coyly still gets his 'Listen' in. The slowdown so the crowd can singalong and thereby agree even if not intending too, is more deliberate this time as we head into "Drums." Early repeats of the 'NFA' groove give way to your standard "Drums." "Space" are compassionate celestial comets cannoned...I'm twirling as we enter the "TOO" zone. Things become serious after the first verse (3:19)and then turn into a video game by the 5's though it's intense. There's far much livliness to "Wharf" for it to be devestating yet it's a superlative, hopeful in the carrier's strength..."Throwing's" got some errors, but it's funkier than the norm. Did Bobby lose his voice/mic during the final build-up or was the intention for the crowd to sing it for him? The reprise is a bit jarring and there's little music, but the crowd obliges by taking over. A couple more "NFA" riffs and then a settler known as "Black Muddy." Heartfelt. 3 1/3

Never Trust a woman and stagger lee are first set highlights. LONG break before coming out for set 2 prompted the NFA chant. Bobby's mic goes out on thorowing

stones and the crowd has to sing the rest of the verse. Fun show
