Solid, strident version. Bobby and Phil take on the rowdies with a cool rap after, too. Great first set all around.

Punk rock version, responding to an aggressive Detroit crowd. "Relax man, we don't respond to that shit" sez Jerry.

Jumped up, pushing against the pulse. Seems like the rowdy crowd inspired our boys here. Gritty, almost aggressive vibe.

Strong pulse and Jerry giving it his all, vocally and instrumentally. Why doesn't this show have more love? Everything in the set is just slaying it.

Hard driver kicking off the show with Billy firing on all 8 cylinders. Mixer laureate C. Miller gives us a gem here, good copy after 1:10 of FM warble

Furious shredding, blisteringly hot.

Slow building intense ride. Around 10th minute Jerry starts sounding like a room full of guitars jamming as one.

This is a great show. The band seems to be experimenting with so much, and the sound is really gentle, really "less is more". The Stephen>Jam seems so fragile in places, like gossamere or dancing fragments of memory, but constantly driving forward, too.

Really beautiful and long. Goes into a modal jam reminiscent of "Sketches of Spain" around 12:00.
