Summary

This week we go back 30 years to the band's second set at McNichols Arena in Denver Colorado on December 13, 1990.

I'm always a fan of a Help>Slip>Frank opener and here it heralds a fine show. A latter day 'Saint of Circumstance' is followed by a nice 'Eyes of the World' which opens up nicely towards the end as it goes into Drums and Space. The highlight of the set is the fine 'Other One' that comes post-drums and leads into 'Morning Dew'.

Phil steps in after that with a great 'Box of Rain' to close the set, and the boys return for a 'US Blues' encore.
