Ace has been conducting an improv symposium this whole night. Basically a proto-Wolf Bros show

Boston Garden

Rolfe AUD tape, someone's son is screaming for this tune through a good part of Set 1. Are you happy now?

The Sportatorium

I usually do not care about Drums>Space...it's my time to have a cigarette and a wizz, in concert OR at home. But this rips.

Radio City Music Hall

Wheel > Saint > Peter. Who had that on their bingo blotters? Doubt all were on the same page here...Bobby puts in the extra effort to justify the call

Radio City Music Hall

Warfield Theater

Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication

Warfield Theatre

Bobby's vox throughout this Warfield run have been on point. I think the quieter, smaller theater has him keeping the howling down.
