Drums -> Space
Sept. 29, 1993
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

Hampton Coliseum

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

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

Shakedown Street
Jan. 25, 1993
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Really nice pep to the step - gets off the shakedown rails momentarily around 8:50 on the Charlie Miller version when Phil starts to roam around a bit. Very nice organ work from Vince - which is something I don't often think about as his strong suit as a self-professed Brent-Boi.
