Holy cow. Wow. Scorches. So does the Candyman. And this is followed by a beautiful Masterpiece.

First one after Brent's death. First one with Bruce being officially part of the gang. Pretty significant. Felt like we'd probably survive...

Fiery, galloping build up. Maybe this was overshadowed by the 9/19 version, but this one rips.

Bobby’s first!! Far as I can tell…. Great, long, quirky jam! Stretches out for over 10 minutes. Historic version at an historic show!!!

A long, weird Dew!!! Strange too! Some might call it sloppy (they would not be wrong…..) while others might just wonder what sort of shenanigans the lads were up to in Paris this day (Billy especially!!!). Phil is the MVB (most valuable Beast) of the entire show!! Ridiculous fun! More proof they were not just the greatest at what they did…. They were the only ones who did what they did. As we know…..
