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....

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

One of the best ever! Truly shocked it ain’t higher. Keith’s keys make it extra special....

Scary and powerful Other One. Made me realize there are no entries for I Will Take You Home, which is a shame. The one leading into this is a favorite. Contrary to what Others may have felt, Take You Home never interfered with the flow of a show for me. It was different for sure, and some felt it was out of place... But really, it was a beautiful Brent ballad....

This is a beast. Like most beasts, it's a bit wild and unruly, but excellent overall....
