Jai-Alai Fronton

One of the (for me) rare versions of Sugaree that never drags, but keeps building and building with great intensity.

Gorgeous acoustic version in a superb gem of a concert. Jer's voice is perfect, the emotional arc soars. A mini masterpiece.

Wait for it, then run in fear from it. The boys had something ferocious in mind here.

Funny culture clash after this rock-solid version. The boys tell the Danish audience they "don't have to clap like that" (in unison, which was of course a sign of appreciation, but certainly comes off a bit stiff). They then figure out that nobody can understand a word they're saying and go into one of the swingingest You Win Agains ever. Seems like a lovely good time was had by all.

A little tape speed wobble at the beginning shouldn't stop anyone. They sort it out quick. This one kicks out the barn door and charges at full speed. The show is top notch through and through.

Bobby bursts a vein on the shout chorus.

The hypersonic re-entry into the atmosphere coming out an outrageous TOO reprise simply melts into vapor and touches down with this angelic version. What a treat. A great set worth the hype.

The whole Truckin'>Drums>TOO is too beautiful for words. Don't skip the Truckin', as the set works as a whole. Phil is really understated, but leading from behind in much of this. Especially going into the FG jam.
