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.

A primo goto for seat of the pants jamming and "almost" over the cliff peaking - If you like TOG's - this one RIPS and is as good as it gets. Hartford is more strummy in general and this is way more jammy/picking imho. Both are great but there's something in the tempo here and Brent is right there with Jer on this night.

I'm partial to 83's Scar>Fires with Philly 4/20 being my favorite of that year - I'll second that this one is for the ages - just freaking GREAT. Should be me much higher! +1
