Don't Ease Me In
Proves the boys could really swing when they wanted to. Hear Jerry on "The Girl I Love" line; like 'Gator Alley--1980 a good year for this tune

Franklin's Tower
Right out of the jack straw opener.. balls deep. This show is super fresh. Go, 80s dead!

Althea
I cant believe this one hasnt made the list, crisp vocals and stellar guitar work, its like jerry is painting the air.

Not Fade Away
Sick Drumz>NFa with some heavy Brent MOOG action. To me it's one of the more unique versions and should not be overlooked
1
Space
Short but oh so sweet fuzzfest of Brent-centric gooyness seamlessly into a typically funkified 1980 NFA
4
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
In a heady show from Alaska, this suite fits perfectly in a sneaky brilliant show

Ship of Fools
This one plays pretty true to form, but a strong, clean, and powerful rendition with nice guitar breakdowns from Jerry.

Johnny B. Goode
Jumps right out of Around & Around. Nice little dance party to a fine show in Alaska.
