A sprawling and celebratory 2nd set opener to a fantastic under the radar show from 1987

Under the radar version from St. Patrick's Day '88. Really loose and shreddy, nice segue into Eyes

This version has swagger. Check it out!

Oklahoma City Music Hall

The NFA jam is bluesy and chill before strolling into a great GDTRFB and then triumphantly returning to NFA. Great execution here.

Seattle Center Coliseum

A very jazzy and relaxed version till the psychedelic mind melt that occurs during the last 4 minutes.

P.N.E. Coliseum

Great version! Better than the 46 minute monstrosity that took place a few days later in Seattle.

I'll need to give this one a few more listens I think. I found it to be quite boring. Not as good as the PITB that was played in Vancouver a few days prior.
