Very nice vibe on this. Brent's keys.

The "Strangers" from this whole run seem uniformly hot, and this doesn't disappoint.

Digging some 1990s spring tour lately. The LIG from this show is obviously magical, but there's great stuff throughout.

Worth a listen to the first Althea on the historic night of Tiger's premiere.

Loved it, but wished Jerry could have taken more extended lines and played with Branford more.

One of the most musically interesting things I've ever heard them do. It is wonderful to see what they can do with incredible musicians.

Winterland Arena

Obviously a contender for a top spot, but I give it my vote because of how Winterland sounds here, and how they sound in it.
