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)
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

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

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.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 29, 1972
Musikhalle

China is short, but tight, and this show, especially Dark Star>Sugar Mag>Caution is one of those fine, under the radar E72's, like 4/11 Newcastle, 5/13 Lille, and my favorite, 5/25 Lyceum. Let's celebrate it all, start to finish!

Keith's Fender Rhodes is making love to my ears.
Playin' In The Band
Aug. 6, 1974
Roosevelt Stadium

Funkiest Dead money can buy...Add the Scarlet meat inside that Playin' bread and eat the tastiest, finger-licken'ist sandwich you ever gonna get. Get yourself a napkin.

Yes! That energy at the end, just builds and builds. Fun times, great show! Love me some wild and wooly '78!
