Unusual, long Space for the era. Fans of Feedback will enjoy this one.

Carnival of sounds and textures. Wild stuff.

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

Pummeling version with Phil cranked UP in the mix.

Kiel Auditorium

The whole band creates a seamless, burbling groove. (Listen for Phil pushing through the small spaces Bobby leaves.) Mesmerizing.

Kiel Auditorium

The short, country-style numbers sound so good in this set. There's a lot of good music in this show even before the big jams arrive.

This is an exquisite Peter from a great year for that song.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
March 28, 1993
Knickerbocker Arena

My only complaint? The Fire, although hardly slight at 12 minutes, sounds like it could have gone on for a few more. The inspiration is seemingly right there.
