Kinda laid back and spacy, but very well played. Great vocals, too.

Great early version. Intense jammine pre SSDD. High energy level all around.

Did Billy have to go to the bathroom, because he killed the jam before Sunshine Daydream.
Greatest Story Ever Told

A trip to Pluto and back, all contained in a 5 minute rock & roll tune? Yup.
Big Railroad Blues

Deer Creek Music Center

Nice, long version. First instrumental break Jerry plays it sweet and long. Bruce gets things going on the next one, ultimately giving way to Jerry, who is riding a second peak, then Bruce comes back in to finish things off. Vince is also putting in some nice fills and his vocals aren't trampling over everybody else's. Phil be a thumpin' big time. Check it out - it's worth your time.
Blow Away

Laguna Seca Recreation Area

Once again, another version suffers from the band being unsure what to play to back up Brent. Phil does his best, but Jerry seems to be someplace else.

It's like a nice duet with Bob and Donna putting in really good lead vocals and Jerry sounds good when he chimes in too. I'm not a big fan of the slow and lazy tempo and Jerry doesn't play nice when Keith tries to take the lead, but Jerry won't let him in.
