Let It Grow

Orpheum Theatre

Gives you blisters on your fingers just listening to it. Great second bit coming after drums. Solid if not somewhat overlooked show.

Death Don't Have No Mercy

Shrine Auditorium

A bit shorter and tighter than some, but brilliant, and part of an immortal set of primal blasting power.

Takes off on you for a deep and weird ride, then goes into a brilliant "The Main Ten" which just kills me its so good.

The boys were in a mellow mood tonight, and this one is the sweet and tearful-cowboy ballad it was written to be.

Moody, pensive, and beautifully acoustic. Like no other. Unbelievably beautiful.

Haters: Donna can't sing in tune? Really? Listen to this, even if you can't stand the song, and you'll know exactly what she could do with her voice. She always complained that she couldn't hear herself on stage, and knowing she could deliver when featured makes me wonder how many of her more egregious "interventions" could have been better mic'd, mixed, and leveled.

Glorious transition jam into Wharf Rat. It just seems to happen by accident: Everyone is putting together a beautiful inventive jam that doesn't resemble any other Eyes jam I know, then suddenly it's Wharf Rat, perfectly. Have to re-listen to it to hear if there were earlier hints that point to it....

Grendel said exactly what I was going to say here. The Help is just dynamite.

Just fell in love with this song again. Love, love, love.

Jaw dropping. I'm flabbergasted, shocked that I haven't heard this before. Top shelf Dead.
