A quintessetial '85 nugget! Restored and mastered from the original broadcast tapes, 2CD limited edition digi-pak
Set I: Kicks off with an energetic "Gimme Some Lovin'" transitioning into "Greatest Story Ever Told". Highlights in the first frame included a fiery "My Brother Esau" and a bluesy "Little Red Rooster" before closing with "Looks Like Rain" and "Don't Ease Me In".
Set II: The set settled into a classic 80s exploratory sequence: "Samson & Delilah" and "He's Gone," leading into a luminous "Crazy Fingers" before bleeding into "Drums" and "Space".
Post-Space: The band delivered a spacier, electronic take on "The Other One," followed by an affecting "Wharf Rat" and a potent "Sugar Magnolia".
Encore: Closing out with a poignant and spectral "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue".
"Soloing keeps on changing, but I don't have an approach. I still basically revolve around the melody. I think I come more from the point of view of the melody and the way it's broken up into phrases as I perceive them. With most solos, I tend to play something that phrases the way the melody does. The phrase is maybe more dense or have different value and so forth, but they'll occur in the same places in the song as they do in the melody. Basically, most of the time there's some abstraction of the melody in there - at least that's what I'm thinking. I'm not necessarily meaning to communicate that, but that's what my mind does." JG85
