Warfield Theatre

Great example of early '80s style. Mick on the xylos or Brent on some synth job all good.

Jer spanks this rendition with extra hot sauce - and does not disappoint. Super Phil touches check the CM source.

Lively, clean, energetic version with Brent doing his doobie brother backup gig perfectly.

Rips hard and has a raunchy edge with DJ's excellent backup work. There a gazillion Jack Straws but this deserves a listen.

That 10/29/77 rings a bell - I know I've heard it but can't recall it specifically - gonna go check it on your recommend Grendel. If it's anything like this one I am sure I will dig it.

'84 is underappreciated in my book too and this one is so damn darkly atmospheric and just a cool journey - Weir's work is especially interesting to me here all the way to the end. While not '84 check out 4/6/82 for a quick but FIERCE O1. that does not overstay it's welcome but gets to the point for the bash.
