Fast. Fast. Fast. Cokey version seems like it's playing in fast forward. '84 is so unique and magical/dreamy sometimes.

Not a big fan of this song usually, but this one's hot. On the 4th of july, short, sweet, everybody's into it. Comin' out of The Wheel and into UJB.

Nice one, rising out of a cool Playin' and getting it's own groove on. Featured on Go to Nassau.

Tight version. Surprised it's not on here, like the rest of this sweet show (my new sleeper favorite, along with 5/13, 4/11)...dig that organ.

Jerry breaking into that La Bamba is such a pure, joyous moment! Must be celebrated!

Really gorgeous DS. Rides along like an ocean breeze, but also takes you out. Great ending.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Musikhalle

China is short, but tight, and this show, especially Dark Star>Sugar Mag>Caution is one of those fine, under the radar E72's, like 4/11 Newcastle, 5/13 Lille, and my favorite, 5/25 Lyceum. Let's celebrate it all, start to finish!

Funkiest Dead money can buy...Add the Scarlet meat inside that Playin' bread and eat the tastiest, finger-licken'ist sandwich you ever gonna get. Get yourself a napkin.
