In any other month in any other year, this entire show would be considered a rip-roaring classic (which it is!!). Donna is awesome.

Raw, ragged, savage, pretty darn profound. Almost a Close Encounter out of Space... Always a gorgeous work in progress... Not the best, but....

Meadowlands Arena

For sentimental reasons: Maybe not the best, but nice extended out-row jam, overall well-played '80s

Fierce and Fiery!!! Like most great Dews, we wish this one would never end. Digs deep in the end. First big solo too……

I Know You Rider

War Memorial

No China!! I was fortunate to see the Boys pull off a Half-Step-Rider in '85. It was a bit clunky, though ridiculously fun. This is not clunky. This is a thing of beauty, with a Groovy Jam to boot!! Jerry roars his wishes!!! Entire sequence beyond classic!!!
