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.

Brent’s comping is magical. Jerry having so much fun and so funky (check the video- I’ve never seen him move so much!)

Mickey is an absolute beast on this song. Watch the video that they showed at Meet up at the Movies.

Everybody so animated and energetic the whole show: Jerry, Bob, Brent, Phil, etc. July of ‘89, one of the great months.

What a Scarlet! Birthed to life seamlessly out of Sugar Mag then fire on all cylinders: Jerry jamming, Bob brilliant support, Phil bouncing, Brent backing on B-3, and Mickey and Bill perfectly in synch, all with crazy smooth transition into Man Smart, Woman Smarter.
