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.

Crunchy, cranky NFA here and it sure does make a nice samwitch.

Love this whole show got the board after it and it was gold - right before hitting the Philly CC stand. The Touch, Terrapin and Dew are complete monsters -- actually all the tunes are stellar.

This is the sweetest and most tasteful riffing I have heard Jer deliver on this tune. Bobby is accenting beautifully with his harmonic rhythm work and the interplay from Brent at the end is just freaking lovely... thanks for posting this I think it's a gem.

Deserves more than 6 so lets make it 7. No doubt a gorgeous intro.
