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.

Wasn't expecting this to be so awesome. Didn't think it would fit with the super rockin' high energy vibe of the show. But it does! Sweet!

Am not so-much in love with Bobby Good Lovin's, but this one has something special for me. I don't know what. Maybe the energy in Jerry's guitar.
