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.

Very unique and tasty Dark Star buffet; as the original poster mentioned, this one's got something for everyone in it.

A tremendous version which has no business being this low in the rankings.

Copps Coliseum

Bruce and Phil make this extra special. Phil is so clear and up in the mix and dialed-in for this whole show.
