Drums -> Space

Boston Garden

Drums has a deep ambient gamelan jam between the BAM BAM intro and beam. Space is CD-ROM-era tones and vaporwave-core

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

I have very little patience for Bobby blues - but Jerry and Vince are very present and riffing on this cut

Very well delivered - a few mumbled F bombs

Hampton Coliseum

Drums is very drippy and boom boom. Weird effects on space / phasery, flangery stuff. Very Frippertronics-like version. Transitions into Spanish Jam

Nassau Coliseum

Super floaty version with an uplifting MIDI flute solo at approx 5:30. Lovely Vince-era rendition.

the fact that this only has four votes shows how fucked the 70s/80s bias is in dead listenership

Riverport Amphitheatre

I think this is the longest -- breaks free into some very interesting territory at ~14 on the relisten version. Has a sort of China Cat > Rider transition meets Space vibe.
