Wonderfully emotional, extremely high level of intensity and full of energy.

Terrapin Station
Somewhat sloppy then they hit the exit jam into drums and pure magic takes place, one of the best exit jams EVER!

Dark Hollow
Bobby performing his heart out. Jerry is engaged and the band is tight. AUD is great. A must listen!

Jack A Roe
AUD sounds great and puts you in the heart of this charmed crowd. Jerry sounds great, the acoustic is enchanting, and the band is ON! '80 Dead gold!

Rosalie McFall
Best 80's Rosalie McFall? Great clap along, very strong tempo and delivered near flawless. Jerry sounds amazing. Acoustic beauty. A must listen!

They Love Each Other
The intervals and touch and chromatic phrases in the solo are fantastic

Brokedown Palace
One of the best solos I've heard on this tune. If you like your solos light on notes and heavy on feeling, listen up.

Samson and Delilah
Brent and Jerry all over this one - strong Samson in between the Warfield and RCMH
