MIDI Horn fest on Jerry's end + the Vince synths make this an interesting MSWM. Carrying over the tame energy from the Eyes beforehand. Solo Vince

Excellent dueling keyboard version - Bruce on accordion and Vince on the synths. I love the Brent versions with the B3, but the keys fit well here

Jerry repeats "Look out Stagger Lee" with quite a bit of fervor at the end, excellent version. Entire band is locked into high gear

This one will knock your socks off - heady version and a nice mix!

Very nice early Fadeaway, the first highlight of this show for me so far. Very uneven energy in this first but this Fadeaway rocks!

Wow...totally overlooked. Literally the second vote smh. I know people have varied opinions on Jerry's MIDI experiments in the late 80's to 90's but the horn sound in the start just really gets me going here. The ultramatrix is UNBELIEVABLY good - one of the best recordings you can find. Band is in TOP shape despite the shaky start to Half-Step

"well WHAT THE FUCK" - Bobby "That's what happens when you play too loud" - Jerry, grinning ear to ear probably
