Five Seasons Center

Solid and energetic. Wraps up a lively pre-drums part of 2nd set. Interesting jam at the end. Phil sounds like he wants to go Other One, never does.

Fast. Fast. Fast. Cokey version seems like it's playing in fast forward. '84 is so unique and magical/dreamy sometimes.

Not a big fan of this song usually, but this one's hot. On the 4th of july, short, sweet, everybody's into it. Comin' out of The Wheel and into UJB.

Nice one, rising out of a cool Playin' and getting it's own groove on. Featured on Go to Nassau.

Hot stuff. Goes so many places. Just listened to it and already want to again; can tell it will definitely reward repeat listens.

Wasn't expecting this to be so awesome. Didn't think it would fit with the super rockin' high energy vibe of the show. But it does! Sweet!

Am not so-much in love with Bobby Good Lovin's, but this one has something special for me. I don't know what. Maybe the energy in Jerry's guitar.
