Fun stuff, especially Brent's organ; actually enjoyed the Good Lovin' it goes into more than I usually do with Bobby versions.

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

Activity Center - University of Colorado

Part of a nice 1-2 punch encore; the final, high energy rockers really elevate this show.

New Minglewood Blues
April 12, 1978
Cameron Indoor Stadium

Energetic version sandwiched between a KILLER Row Jimmy and an interestingly tempoed Loser.

Ramble On Rose
Dec. 30, 1979
Oakland Auditorium

Nice pace and vocals, almost as rockin' as the (pinnacle) '78 versions, with some Brent keys thrown in.

Brown Eyed Women
Sept. 24, 1972
Palace Theatre

Nifty '72 BEW sets-up a lovely, exploratory PITB...hold on to your hats for set 2, with a criminally underrated top 10 of all-time Dark Star.

Playin' In The Band

What a beauty. Wasn't expecting this one to be such a highlight. Almost instantly entered my top 5 . . .with one listen!
Satisfaction

RFK Stadium

Worth the listen for the band introductions alone...how fun is that?!
Friend of the Devil

Baltimore Civic Center

Much bigger fan of the slower, later versions, especially '78, but this one is nice. Bouncy, tight, fun––I had to sing along!

Rockin' version. Keith sounds like he's having fun.

Good energy. It's no '78 Horton or Dane County for sure, but still, great ending to a fine first set.
