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.

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.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Pretty and mellow and groovin'.
Space

(i know technically this could/should be considered an extension of the other one jam...but as it is called "space" on the official release...anyway, super slow and meandering at first, but give it time...for "space", which i'm usually not a big fan of, it's pretty trippy in a mellow, sleepy, jazzy and eventually 'heady' way...unique, for sure.)

What a beauty. Wasn't expecting this one to be such a highlight. Almost instantly entered my top 5 . . .with one listen!

Worth the listen for the band introductions alone...how fun is that?!

Much bigger fan of the slower, later versions, especially '78, but this one is nice. Bouncy, tight, fun––I had to sing along!
