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

Awesome Samson, gets somehow even more smokin' after the 5 min mark
Playin' In The Band

Strand Lyceum

Weaving in and out of the Playin'/Main Ten theme throughout this one. Might be mistaken but this is the longest/one of the longer Playin's on the E72 tour

Lovely, dynamic and engaging DS. Big fan of when you can hear everyone clearly and how they each drive the jams.

When people talk about "Phil-led" shows and songs, this is what they mean. Excellent Other One
