    Tubular Bells
    Being a long time fan of Mike Oldfield thought this was great. Have fond memories of watching Mike Oldfield in a field in England summer 1980. Act before was Santana and afterwards The Beach Boys. That was really bizzare dancing to California surf music in a field wearing wellies

    '93 hidden gem
    Sweet sounding opener of Bucket > jackA > Same Thing. Jerry's guitar has that "Twangy" sound , which took some getting used to at the time. Now I think it was a cool tonal change it up.Jam > Days Between is eerie, but will pass on cheezy answers.

Great set . Considering that the fall and December shows of that year , where - at least on tape - kind of slow and pale . But the dead on tape sometimes was a complete different experience live . A concert live sometimes could be a complete blast . Example is the Montage Mtn show in 1998 TOO . The best Scarlet Fire i saw in 14 shows of that tour , but on tape it seems like just another S > F ( i recorded 6 shows that tour , not Scranton ) Additionally i saw the 1st two SLC shows in Feb 95 . Kind of slow shows that i remember played live . But the tapes sound killer , full of energy and essential tapes in anyone s collection . This probably differs from person to person . 9.22 at MSG is quite good on tape , especially the 2nd set with D Murray . At that show specifically it s very unfortunate ( if you hear that set at home ] , that Bobby cut guest Murray during the main Estimated ( middle ) jam , when D Murray was supposed to rock out and deliver his guest ' wealth ' . The Jackaroe is exquisitely nice on this Spectrum tape , and Vince takes the Same thing and gives it a 5 star treatment . And the post space especially the ballad , ethereal . Thank you dead.net
