10/7/95  Spokane Opera House, Spokane, WA (charlie Dirksen)

	A friend of mine did the tour from Shoreline through 10/8 and
agreed that this show was the best of the tour up until 10/8 hands down.
The *POWER* in both sets is easy to hear on the tapes (great acoustics in
the venue).  The Julius opener is good, but the Gumbo and Possum that
follow soon thereafter really smoke.  Wilson Antelope closes the first set
mightily (just as good as any sweet You Enjoy Myself would, really!).  A
lllong, gorgeous Makisupa opens the second.  Split Open RAGES, as does Ice
(that's right, ICE!!) and Frankenstein in the second.  Many of you know
that this Harry Hood is my favorite version (next to Kent 11/12/94).  Even
though it is unfinished, the Theme-like ending -- after a spectacularly
beautiful jam segment that only the people who were present can fully
appreciate (Trey jammed un-amplified at one point, using the Opera House
acoustics to the max) -- is betterthan any "Feel good about Hood" lines,
given the exceptional majesty ofthis version, IMO. ;)  At over 16 mins or
so, it is also one of the longest Hoods (see 10/20/94 and 11/12/94 for
comparably long versions).
