Love Bob laughing for getting hassled over bungled lyrics.

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

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.
Beat it on Down The Line

Winterland Arena

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.
