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

Perfect tone, swells, and peaks. This soars

INCREDIBLY slinky. Excellent action Brent-side on this.

Brent and Jerry trade smoking solos, then mesh at the final end jam. Choice

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

Completes the Eyes > Wharf > Sug Mags triumvirate and this track is not simply an afterthought to cap off a hot show - i'm pretty sure Jerry blasts laser beams out of his fingers during a flurry of mid jam notes in this one. It truly slays

Excellent post and comment. This one is brimming with catharsis. It soars

Phil is a beast on the deep end. Band is locked in. Great version!

That one blew my hair back, HVD. They come out blazing, then slow it down, and tighten up with a really creative, upbeat jam. So choice. Definitely going to spin the rest of the show now!

Oh man, this one is incredible! Excellent calypso-type jam in the middle. Quickly vaulted to a favorite version!
