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.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

China is short, but tight, and this show, especially Dark Star>Sugar Mag>Caution is one of those fine, under the radar E72's, like 4/11 Newcastle, 5/13 Lille, and my favorite, 5/25 Lyceum. Let's celebrate it all, start to finish!

Funkiest Dead money can buy...Add the Scarlet meat inside that Playin' bread and eat the tastiest, finger-licken'ist sandwich you ever gonna get. Get yourself a napkin.

Yes! That energy at the end, just builds and builds. Fun times, great show! Love me some wild and wooly '78!
