A great one from summer '90. Vocals are crisp, musically the organ work is great and the band is tight and all in the flow.

Jerry solo for most of it with some effects from time to time. Unique. And then it goes into Dew

This song is not really in a "heady" format, but I always liked it as a 1st set tune. This version is well.played as is this show.

Yes 1984. I love the ups that happen in this year. This version has a lot of great energy from the boys. Mid-song solo is very strong.

This Stranger kicks a **. Phil is fantastic and his sound is great. Fun jam, the band is together and able to throw fills wherever necessary.

This one gets my vote for first overall. I had the tendency to stear away from the early spring tour shows and missed 4/1 until this website helped adjust my thinking. The band is tight with their performance and Brent is feeling it.

The band is just on. You can hear it throughout this version. Definitely one of my favorites.

This is a true teeth clencher. Jerry's last solo goes on and on and has a lot of wow value.

Great 80s jamming. The jam never loses its way and weaves around landing beautifully into Terrapin.
