P.N.E. Coliseum

Show starts out a bit rough - tech issues, energy, song selection. Boys seem to come alive here, with some nice Jerry leads and Keith fills

INCREDIBLY slinky. Excellent action Brent-side on this.

Early, beta version of the track, the (albeit brief) jam in this is strong

Tough that Bobby has technical issues during this Straw, but he leaves the boys to tear this version a new one. Jerry shreds this to pieces! Very, very nice.

This is very patient, poignant, and soulful. Jerry's vocals and playing are hauntingly on point. Very nice
