Nice soulful 69 version of Baby Blue, they should have played this more in the coming decade.

Nassau Coliseum

Very good opener, agreed on the awful SBD sound, sometimes a FOB AUD is just what you need.
Death Don't Have No Mercy
Oct. 19, 1989
The Spectrum

Love the trade off vocals in later versions. Yes, not as good as Hampton, but still great.
Dear Mr. Fantasy

The Spectrum

Standout version of Fantasy.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Oct. 18, 1989

Very good, high energy soloing, I usually prefer 70s versions but this is just great.
