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

Kinda close to perfect. Others are maybe more epic, and plenty are longer and jammier, but this is nearly just exactly perfect... Into a wonderful Estimated.

The Cryptical Envelopment Coda/Reprise builds to blistering beauty....About as powerful as 5/2/70, 2/28/69, 2/22/69, and all the rest of the best, some of the finest moments in GD history, those Cryptical reprises..... especially the last few minutes of this one!!!
