Comments: Excellent version of "Badge". EC uncharacteristically launches into the
upper register for his "Cocaine" solo - excellent! An awesome performance of "Sunshine" really
finishes this show with a bang, with a nice intro, a hot solo, with EC singing "Up" on the
third verse.

Comments: An exceptional audience recording. Easily one of the finest performances of
both "Let it Rain" and "Hoochie Coochie Man" of the tour. "Walk out in the Rain" is certainly not
EC's finest work on this particular tune, but Doyle really takes it into the stratosphere with his
outro solo. Doyle also contributes some really standout slide work to "Milk Cow Blues". Show finishes
with a unique performance of "Sunshine of Your Love" for this tour, at the end going back into four
more bars of the "Sunshine" vamp.

Comments: Another exceptional audience recording, and the finest of the box set.
One of the best "Walk Out in the Rain" of the tour. Finishes with a fiery "Sunshine", EC plays
faster perhaps on this song than at any other date of the 2004 tour, a killer solo with none of
the noodling and coasting he sometimes shows on this song. You can always tell when EC is really
"on" Sunshine when he sings the third chorus by sending the vocals "up" ... and this time he does
not disappoint! Recommended.
