Is there such a thing as a mellow Watchtower? This might be it. Goes into a great Dew

Silva Hall - Hult Center for the Performing Arts

One of those heady, gritty early 80's Duprees. Also Jerry nails the lyrics! No fumbles at all, astonishing really

Lovely show opener, mix is a bit wonky at first but Phil is all over it. Great show all in all!

Peppy Iko to start the night off - good show overlooked by the rest of the run

Rosemont Horizon

They take their time for the intro. Right out of space into this Spencer Davis cover. Brent is the MAN!!! Phil in top form too of course :)

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

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!!!!!
