Solid (rare) second set BEW. Jam picks up the energy but mellow and concise throughout.

Vocally one of the most passionate and the playing is fantastic - just listen to Keith!

Vince solo is awesome - the two keyboards are fully integrated into the band at this point
Eyes Of The World

War Memorial

Horn solo beginning around the 7 min mark is actually quite fun and funky. Not as much crazy improv + the band is still learning to groove with/around the horns but excellent and interesting, especially when the horns are nailed (and don't sound like a circus gone wrong)
