huh, I need to listen to those shows more closely then. There's a ten+ minute "Down By The River" on the Paris show, and a 12 minute "Like A Hurricane" on the Chicago show. But o/w the songs don't reach epic liftoff.

Japanese shows are probably the best of that year ... I'll get around to posting some of those soon!
