Hollywood Bowl

Wildly exuberant both before and after "SSDD" vocals. And Billy is all over this great AUD.

County Coliseum

Swings and shimmies before busting out the heavy artillery.

Friend of the Devil

Miami Arena

Played pretty fast (for the slow version) and heavy with MIDI and spirited playing. Not to everyone’s taste, perhaps, but I like it!

Charlotte Coliseum

Sparkling rendition. Fans of upbeat '89 versions like 7/7 should check this out.

Sharp, feisty version with Jerry and Brent setting up a beautiful, dreamy -> Terrapin

Hot, swampy East Coast summer energy! Very powerful.

Capitol Center

Divinely inspired. I’m going to upvote the LIG right now.

Yes, to all of the above, and how ’bout those Phil bombs?

Paramount Theatre

Just ridiculous. I can’t even believe this thing. Don’t go another day without hearing this. (The SBD’s not great, but try the AUD, loud.)

Paramount Theatre

Oh my god!!! This performance is absolutely competitive with the other greats from ’77! Audio quality is the only reason it’s languishing down here with just three votes. The AUD’s really not bad, though, and this is well worth hearing.
