So I missed this show, left Tom with Sean and they wound up staying at the Five Seasons, where Tom's uncle had artwork on the walls of the hotel. Apparently his uncle lived close to town, and was an artist of some reknown. The band dedicated the second set to Paul of the Rainbow bus who was one of two persons who had died in a crash on the way to the Kansas City show from Pine Knob. Bobby mentioned it at the start saying "This set is dedicated to the memory of Paul and the Rainbow bus" and before He's Gone, Phil said, "this one's for Paul and the Rainbow bus" A 'Feel Like a Stranger' opener ripped up the one and only indoor venue on this summer tour. Brent scat sings along with his solo in 'Friend of the Devil' with some fancy electric piano flourishes. Some sweet Jerry soloing on the 'CC Rider' led to a 'Cumberland Blues' and an infrequent but not rare for 1984, 'Beat it on Down the Line' which is my favorite of the first set. You can feel the crowd and the Fourth of July holiday atmosphere although there are relatively few fireworks on the recording as it was an indoor venue. From what I read online, there was quite a fireworks battle after the show in the twin parking garages. The second set is an absolute barn burner with a 55 minute five song cycle featuring a most tender He's Gone following the aforementioned dedication to Paul and the Rainbow bus. The 'Help > Slip > Franklins' led it off with a bang; check the 'Slipknot!' for some summer 1984 psychedelic weirdness. The 'Far From Me' is one of the finest, mid set versions I can recall hearing; Jerry actually leads Brent into the tune with some fancy triplets starting off sounding like the opening chords to 'Truckin', but leading Brent into taking the lead and pounding away at the keys with that lament- "You are so FAR FROM ME". I titled the two minute jam out of 'He's Gone' as 'heavy jam' as they seemed to not want to head into drums with a thundering attempt by Phil to play Truckin' which had Bobby headed for the backstage needing to rest after the 55 minutes of serious soulful energy they just spent. Post drums is standard but incredibly well played fare with Phil finally goading Bobby onto starting Truckin' but with the very briefest whistle blowing to start off. U.S. Blues wrapped it up as an anticlimactic but expected Fourth of July send off. - - - - shntool length expanded size cdr WAVE problems fmt ratio filename 2:38.480 45642284 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7042 gd1984-07-04beyerm88s1t01.flac 8:56.293 154452524 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7415 gd1984-07-04beyerm88s1t02.flac 8:40.240 149829164 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7325 gd1984-07-04beyerm88s1t03.flac 8:27.547 146173484 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7357 gd1984-07-04beyerm88s1t04.flac 6:22.480 110154284 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7453 gd1984-07-04beyerm88s1t05.flac 3:49.187 66005804 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7481 gd1984-07-04beyerm88s1t06.flac 11:35.800 200390444 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7284 gd1984-07-04beyerm88s1t07.flac 7:13.733 124915244 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7554 gd1984-07-04beyerm88s1t08.flac 3:42.743 64150124 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7496 gd1984-07-04beyerm88s1t09.flac 1:47.667 31008044 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.6792 gd1984-07-04beyerm88s2t01.flac 20:03.680 346659884 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7351 gd1984-07-04beyerm88s2t02.flac 4:47.213 82717484 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7409 gd1984-07-04beyerm88s2t03.flac 13:09.347 227331884 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7305 gd1984-07-04beyerm88s2t04.flac 11:24.453 197122604 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7121 gd1984-07-04beyerm88s2t05.flac 2:02.467 35270444 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7328 gd1984-07-04beyerm88s2t06.flac 9:23.320 162236204 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7070 gd1984-07-04beyerm88s2t07.flac 8:13.453 142114604 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.6876 gd1984-07-04beyerm88s2t08.flac 7:25.267 128236844 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7474 gd1984-07-04beyerm88s2t09.flac 9:23.880 162397484 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7263 gd1984-07-04beyerm88s2t10.flac 4:17.960 74292524 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7313 gd1984-07-04beyerm88s2t11.flac 7:25.640 128344364 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7225 gd1984-07-04beyerm88s2t12.flac 5:37.800 97286402 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7270 gd1984-07-04beyerm88s2t13.flac 166:28.650 2876732126 B 0.7291 (22 files) App\Http\Controllers\Api\FileDownloadController::download(): Return value must be of type string, none returned
