There's a reason this is on the 'Spring 1990 So Glad You Made It' compilation release.

Not exploratory but incredibly well-played. This whole show should be officially released.

Well sung, beautiful buttery bass, and Keith manages to fill in the holes with exquisite understatement.

This is where things start to sparkle around the edges.

Had always meant to comment on this one because of the transition out of Eyes. Gave it another listen recently and, amongst other merits, was struck by Keith doing this real nifty Vince Guaraldi-sounding stuff on his solo.

Excellent intro portion. Post-verse is gongs and feedback. Listen to the crowd shushing each other--it's practically like a Keith Jarrett concert. Next comes a 'Main Ten Jam' (which would later get incorporated into PITB) and then a nice little jam before going into a hot 'Dancin'. This only circulates as an AUD and, as such, it very well could be one of the top ten most essential AUDs to have.

Add this to the list of essential Dews.
