HOT NFA with Stepehn-ish jam around 6 min akin to the jam before the NFA on 7/28/82

Promised Land
Oct. 28, 1985
Fox Theater

Doesn't seem to want to end - some vocal flubs from Bobby but excellent and energetic version

The Other One
June 13, 1987
Ventura County Fairgrounds

Very hot and heady Other One out of space, leads into a great Dew

Eyes Of The World
March 21, 1981
Rainbow Theatre

Maybe not the most exploratory but it's clear the band is having fun - solid 80's version

Aiko Aiko
June 11, 1991
Charlotte Coliseum

Vince and Bruce dueling on this Iko is one of the best glimmers of a sparkling summer tour
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
March 24, 1986
The Spectrum

Clearly a comment on Jerry's health at this point - probably the reason why the only Post Space song was a killer Dew :/
Stella Blue
Sept. 6, 1979
Madison Square Garden

Nice Mind Left Body Jam to start off this Stella - serene like the ocean waves :)
Uncle John's Band
Sept. 9, 1982
Saenger Performing Arts Center

At first I liked it just for the novelty, but honestly it might just be one of the most pleasant UJB's I've heard from this era
Shakedown Street
Sept. 22, 1991
Boston Garden

Arguably best Shakedown of '91, at the very least tied with 6/22. Bruce's playing throughout makes it sparkle
