Probably my favorite '86 show and 2nd hottest song of the night behind killer Straw to end set 1

Stockton Civic Auditorium

Jerry's tone this night sounds like a howling elephant, translating into excellent rocker of a Sugar Mags

Stockton Civic Auditorium

Pretty standard for the era (77-78) but IMO it still crushes any version from the 80s

During the jam Jerry cycles between power chords and sick noodling, it's played so well they played it again their next show.

Man, you've earned the right to list at least 10 TMNS that I thought were mine to share.. It's the best way to end a set and easy to listen to(I skip the lyrics when I go 'hunting'...shhhh)

Hampton Coliseum

First set kind of drags until the vicious flurry of LLR, Althea and the raucous TMNS knocks us out just long enough to not miss set two's opener. You really can't go wrong with any '77-80 and 91-94 TMNS

Augusta Civic Center

The first set Jack, Stagger, Jimmy and TMNS are just 4 reasons why I love this show.

Winterland Arena

This is probably my favorite Winrterland run and 10/17s country dominated set list and style was unique Great Stagger just as every other '78 Winterland Staggo
Jack Straw

Community War Memorial Auditorium

It's becoming rather obvious some people around here won't touch an aud. This show is available in aud and SBD and the aud adds intensity due to hearing crowd react exactly how you'd expect them.
