4
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
A nice Half-Step->Franklin's.
7
China Doll
Not usually an 80's fan, but this one is spooky, mysterious and trippy. Inside a Playin' sandwich that's pretty ripping for the late date, too.
5
Playin' In The Band
Surrounds a great China Doll, very psychedelic in places, marimba madness and tripped out phasing. Greatness from a not-so-great year.
3
Franklin's Tower
2
Day Job
Bookend Iko - Day Job!!!!
2
Sugar Magnolia
With this, every version from 1986 is posted.

Little Red Rooster
laser hot rooster, explosive Brent, dual slide and devils gettin' it done

Pretty Peggy O
speedy, alchemical solo, hot weir
1
Stagger Lee
astonishingly playful and heavy version, great great stuff!!!!
1
Its All Over Now
unique double time textures, crispy and habanero, continues a splendidly On hometurf first set.
1
Bertha
bullet train vision of utopian oblivion. Awesome locked in groovemeister
1
One More Saturday Night
loose kinetic cannonball energy and more fluid acrobatic bluesy group playing deserve another shout out tonite!
1
Drums -> Space
Thrilling and ominous. gets totally cranial, still retaining the pitb main ten for the duration. Excellent tonal space.
1
Gimme Some Lovin'
barrels in and kicks ass. Definitely some first show of the year magic on this. Revives the blues/soul energy of set 1 to leave us smilin' and dancin
1
Black Peter
mournfully acrobatic delivery and searing tiger, love it for days
