Part of a rare double encore, this version has great energy and bounce. The Brokedown to follow is nice as well. Check out the Oade Brothers AUD.

Really cool pre-drums jam in this version. Almost sounds like they are about to go into I Know You Rider.

It's a fine version and all but the cool little Jerry noodle just before Drums is the real reason to seek this version out.

Really nice groove out of drums. Chill version but in a good way.

Sweet version out of space, flows to a short but fiery TOO. This shines in the recently liberated Knudsen soundboard.

They way this one takes off into the jam portion gives it an almost '73 - '74ish feel . Cool segue into Scarlet.

The Space is pretty cool. Contains a Happy Birthday jam.

What's cool about this version is that the Estimated > Eyes segue is very very similar to the Scarlet > Fire segue that opened the set. Both very unique must listen to jams.

Warfield Theater

This version holds up against any of the great versions from '82. Scarlet has a nice groove to it with a syrupy sweet segue to FOTM. Lots of funky staccato plunking. I'd take this one over the Manor Downs version.
