1985 Vine

I’ve listened to a lot of shows from 1985 and it seems to me that every night the band came out swinging for the bleachers. As often happens when you play that way, there are some strike-outs. But sometimes, when everything lines up “just exactly perfect”, you catch that sweet spot and launch a towering shot that sails out of sight. I believe these four shows represent a few of those shots.
So jump on the vine, crank it up loud, and take a tour of the stratosphere with the greatest band in the history of rock-and-roll.

This package contains a data DVD with all four shows in digital lossless format plus the audio CDs. First person on the list, you know the drill.

Peace,
Richard
