The sound quality is sick the show rips and the bird song is one of the best it is missig that microgram of oomph to get it to a 5 - 85 was a tough year to compare against if this were an 86 it wud have been the best of the year....

Yeah, I'd agree that this is the better version of the two. The China>Rider and Estimated>Eyes are sick, Totally seamless segues between those songs. Jerry's voice isn't the hottest this night, but the fluidity of his playing is pure magic1 One of my favorite sets from all of 85.

This is another spring '85 gem. Just in case your wondering, the reference to April Fools is the one Phil makes after he sings Tom Thumbs. I've been downloading all these spring '85 Auds and I haven't been disappointed with any of them yet. I compared the two aud versions listed here, and I think this was the better one, but you should compare for yourself before downloading the whole show. The whole band is on fire for most of the show, lots of inspiration and energy, and Jerry doesn't miss many licks. His voice sounds rugged, but I don't mind that at all.
