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.

Fantastic version, one of the greatest.

Pauly Pavillion

Agreed. Worth a listen, gets quite spacey (with Brent channeling some 70s electric jazz for good measure).

Cuca, you'll love the ripping jam into TOO. I've never heard anything like it.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Philadelphia Civic Center

This is a mighty fine version! I love your descriptions. As someone who just moved out of the great state of Maine, there's nothing like turning something great up, sitting out on the porch with something tasty to consume, and living the dream.

Fillmore East

I think they actually rather mangle the transition (they're in different tempos for godssakes) but that's part of the magic for me.
