Filter attack on the bridge, contrasts well with the burst-into-flames version from the night before

Long Beach Arena

Clean and exploratory, with active Brent, yet not as telepathic as others

Quite enthusiastic/ recording is crip --- test me, test me... BOOM!

Elastic and lilting drive – perfect for those somersaulting leads out of the halfpipe

But a snippet of its ancestral epics, Jerry delivers enough HCS concentrate to raise more than a few goosebumps

Another rambunctious '80 blazer, especially the run out to close. Checkin' the Aud with the Nak caps.
Jack Straw

Parc des Expositions

One of my first tape acquisitions, much of this show withstands eternal listening, and several of the songs, UJB, BTW, FOD to name a few are real standout versions. Faced with the choice of where to put my chip, I'm going to vote for this Jack Straw as its a bit down the list and is utterly unique... but I'm afraid I may have already voted for the UJB... or the BTW... or... ENJOY
