U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
Dec. 9, 1981
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.

It's All Over Now Baby Blue
June 14, 1991
RFK Stadium

Nice encore to a stellar show...with Bruce taking us out on accordian!

Turn On Your Love Light
Sept. 10, 1991
Madison Square Garden

^...nice choices beatboy! those guys all had a real "walkin' the bar" soulful and raunchy sound that would go great with some Pig! I'd add to that Jimmy Forrest, Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, Willis "Gator Jackson...
Two Souls in Communion

Academy of Music

every time i hear this show it's better and better; goes from really good to great to exceptional, not the least of the reasons being the strength of the "smaller" songs (this one, you win again, greatest story, looks like rain, etc.)- also the killer jams (especially that truckin'!)

I love when Jerry really gets into his vocals. So much fun.

Why so low? Perfect, intense, passionate version from an amazing second set and phenomenal show!
