Highlights for me were Bobby's voice bouncing around the hall and Jerry's super sweet tone.

Quick tempo and nice bounce, with some great band support under Jerry's triplet ideas during the solo.

Even the "Drums" from this show is a step-above, and > "Wheel."

The opening synth parts sound really cool, and really mark a distinctive break from many of their sounds in the 70s. Does Jerry get some of his ideas about his ideal 80s tone from these colors?

Glad you liked the S>F, and the whole sequence is great. I found the China > Rider here: https://archive.org/details/gd1979-02-03.set1.sbd.fixed-102851.miller.102876.flac16 Beware the huge Phil sound!

Listen to Jerry kick things up a notch during his first solo in "Rider." It's like he thought things were poking along, and definitely revs the engine.
