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

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.

Not a tune that usually elicits a vote from me, but this is good stuff. After one and a half listens (first one feeling a little disappointed) I think this show is starting to grow on me too.

Majestic jamming. Easily the highlight of the show for me.

Finally got around to listening to this one. Really rockin' and high energy for sure; lots of fun and deserves to be celebrated, but to me there are a bunch of '78 and '83 versions that top it, along with that epic '79 one that is a hidden track on DP 13.

Dig the organ comping on this one...and the nice, swift pace, as mentioned above
