What a kick butt 14 minute NFA. Explored nicely with different themes but staying true to NFA.

Another charged version from this great year. Bob really starts the charge at the end of the China Cat, but then Jerry finishes up the transition.

Soldier Field

Dead base in the day, had this as a top 5 show of 1992...I think.

The Spectrum

This thing is no joke!
Terrapin Station
Nov. 6, 1979
The Spectrum

I think its not as a hard hitting Terrapin, since its over 15 minutes and does have a jammed out feeling of being in the clouds. Nonetheless, unique and beautiful version.

Chrisler Arena

This is absolutely torched by everyone.
Playin' In The Band

Pauley Pavilion - University of California

They did this sequence, I think 4 times. This is by far the best with all of the spot-on transitions. I don't think the Playin' ever gets tiger, but it is musically perfect to the ears. I completely agree with its top 5 ranking.
