Phildown St. opener in the ginormo dome at Syrabuse. Phil makes this one groovy.

Gold Here. SUBLIME - this is where all the soft touches come together. Bob is especially deft with the underlying patterns. Phil is perfect.

I'm a sucker for China Dolls - this one has Jerry delivering very dreamy vocals on this one.

Love this one, have not heard for it ages. Bobby doing cool harmonics / rhythms throughout, they hit that crinkly place and then Jer's back in focus - Phil and Brent wonderfully on point. Check the 4/19/84 for another sweet one from this era.
