An inspired drums segment from the Devils and a serviceable space segment. Worth the spin

Giants Stadium

Deer Creek Music Center

This hit me perfectly. Well paced, lyrically nailed the poignancy, peak was driven. Nice late-era Peter

I was surprised to look back and see how relatively short this version was, because it had wonderful pace and the punch was ferocious.

The mini jam in this one is a hot little potato. Jerry fluttering over the frets like a hummingbird.

Philadelphia Civic Center

I'm usually not a big Samson fan, but this one has some serious muscle. Force of an elbow drop from the top ropes. High energy!

This Wheel > Wharf segment added to the recent DP is gold. Spinning a lot. Fantastic version
The Wheel

Philadelphia Civic Center

Beautiful, flowing version that segues effortlessly into a great Wharf
China Cat Sunflower

The Electric Theatre

Slammer of a stand-alone Cat. Jerry and Phil ripping it
