Baltimore Civic Center

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

Truly gorgeous Dew.
Corrina

Deer Creek Music Center

This show might not look like much on paper, with Childhood's End, Matilda (first time for both) Samba, Corrina, etc. But... the bridge from Corrina into Matilda is excellent, the Dew is wonderful, and the entire show really works beautifully.
