St. Stephen
Great crowd reaction. Nicely played into throwing stones
16
Keep Your Day Job
Rockin' version that comes out of a shredding Let It Grow. Fuck you hippies!
2
Throwing Stones
Fantastic extended jam
3
Drums -> Space
Some beautiful melodic jamming in Space; the way it transitions into the next-to-last St. Stephen is wonderful.
11
China Doll
Jerry+Brent Deliver Soulful Take
3
Space
Jerry and Bobby Space, uncharacteristically grounded and coherent, leading into the best St. Stephen of the '83 revival
1
Spanish Jam
The Space leading into St Stephen contains 2 Spanish Jam/Quotes that build into huge climaxes.
2
New Minglewood Blues
This isn't here because...? Totally hot, Jerry and Brent experiment with some interesting tones during the jam. Unique. From a flamethrower of a show.
5
Wang Dang Doodle
Raw. Slinky. Perfect tempo with the drums up in mix giving it a tribal feel. Perfectly placed between rocking BEW and Big RR.
