China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
July 17, 1989
Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Great transition from China Cat into Rider from the band. It has good tempo, but doesn't miss out on the magic that should be their. I can't say this one is in my top 3.. but it's still a extremely well done one with almost no flubs. Solid performance and AMAZING show in general.
Alabama Getaway
Dec. 26, 1979
Oakland Auditorium

Alabama getaway that has drive. Jerry vocally is primed this night, Brent is all confident and nails down his solos. Bobby is also really nice here too. Strong Alabama Getway.. I do prefer later versions as someone else commented, but this one is fire. Love 78/79

Don't Need Love
Nov. 5, 1985
The Centrum

Brent is clear here. Gorgeous back ups from the band. This is the gold standard to compare to, I believe. Great job here, underrated song.
Friend of the Devil

RFK Stadium

I loved when Brent would have this angelic key sound on his solos leading into FOTD. Great job from Vince here. I really love Bobby on this one too. Phil drops some bombs in... Jerry's voice is passionate this late in.... I really like this '95 FOTD
