=====================================================================================
the tour story:
A Monday in the Cincinnati. I wasn't there but I did like this venue over the years. The local security was relatively laid back, and the venue was in the suburbs, surely not Cincinnati proper. The AKG c422 was still new to Sean and Kenny as they were joined by Eddie with his Nakamichi shotguns. Overall, the tonality is a bit more even after they adjusted for having the capsules set to XY Omnidirectional for the first three tunes. This setlist was certainly a "for the faithful" Monday offering. From the archive I read it was a humid night with rain during the entire second set.
Set 1 started with a sweet ride through Alabama > Greatest then sort of meandered through until the set closer "Let it Grow". They did offer to allow the raffle winner "to hold the Rhythm section hostage" which must have been a hidden gem between all parties involved. Bobby sang a great version while Jerry and the boys cooked out behind him.
Set 2. The lengthy tune-up led us into an Iko-Iko, nice and deliberate for that hot sunny summer tour version complete with some sweet Jerry vocals. The musical highlight is the "Cryptical" sequence pre-drums then continuing through Space. A crazy space led into the drums who both came out of "Cryptical" playing the "Other One" riff. A one point in space these dolphin like noises come out of the midi boxes. Then they power through the "Comes a Time > Other One > Cryptical" ending. They had been working this up since the Greek shows as part of the "20 Years So Far" celebration/branding they were doing for summer 1985***. They visit the Cryptical four more times in 1985.
*** Until Summer 1985, the band had not played Cryptical since 1972.
