Jerry is on point in the first set. Excellent version with mournful vocals, crisp effected guitars, and strong Vince. Recommended!

Beautiful! The pain is there, but Jerry is lucid and feeling it. Flows nicely into Throwing Stones

Excellent mid-80s version. Jerry is very lucid in this show, heartfelt and floaty version.

Love this version. Not jammed out, but incredibly delivered and fun.

very well performed. Re-master on the RFK boxset is sublime. Someone is triggering dramatic thunderstorm sound effects around the 7:00 mark.

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.

Playin > China Doll > Playin > Drums Space > Playin is an excellent sequence with tons of fierce improv throughout.
