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

Sandstone Amphitheatre

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

Shoreline Amphitheatre

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

Morning Dew

Fillmore West

Previous review nails it. Astonishing end jam during a GRATE Dew
West L.A. Fadeaway

Downs of Santa Fe

Wow - FAT Fadeaway, probably one of the top mid '80s versions. The entire band is on. Seamons matrix is best source IMO
Greatest Story Ever Told
Sept. 17, 1991
Madison Square Garden

On the heels of an Iko opener, high energy and Bruce is all over it

The Ark

This should be #1. Dark, depressing, and yet blistering. Awesome set opener from a classic show. Ark Box Set please!!!!!
