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

I Need A Miracle

Rich Stadium

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.

Strand Lyceum

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.

A tremendous version which has no business being this low in the rankings.
Bird Song
March 20, 1992
Copps Coliseum

Bruce and Phil make this extra special. Phil is so clear and up in the mix and dialed-in for this whole show.

Copps Coliseum

Show really comes to life for me here. Kicks into overdrive with Bird Song, then real nice second set from Shakedown all the way through.
Standing On The Moon

Copps Coliseum

Yes! Great final solo and engaged singing.
