Good Lovin'

Winterland Arena

Blissful dancealong. As clear a statement of what the good times feeling of the later Donna era could sound like. Nice times.

19 minutes, man it gets weird: whistles, gamelans, melodica solo, bird calls, kazoos, explosions: was every one in on the jam? Anyone remember?

Playin' In The Band

Easttown Theatre

Adrenaline bursting hard driver. Exciting. Jerry at 3:00 solos in all 720 degrees, just propulsive. Give her a spin.

Olympia Theater

Flawless trance-inducing NFA with a perfect transition into GDTRFB. Note for note perfect show.

Perfect. May have the best vocal harmonies of all of them. Not here because of low-level boards? Try headphones, heads.

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.
