He's Gone
May 17, 1981
Onondaga Auditorium

Comes out of Estimated, nice & subdued in the beginning. The bluesy jam leading into the Other One is worth a listen. Brent is the man on this one

Samson and Delilah
Sept. 12, 1987
Capital Centre

Hot and heady Samson coming out of a Cumberland 2nd Set Opener - drummers and Brent are especially on

Don't Ease Me In
March 30, 1990
Nassau Coliseum

Punchy Spring '90 version - practically every "Dough Knees" from this period is a rocker

New Minglewood Blues
March 25, 1983
Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

Jerry goes off and Phil really cranks it up near the end. Absolutely wonderful all around

Stir It Up
April 5, 1991
The Omni

Jerry leads them straight into it - lots of fun in this second set, even if it's nothing outstanding per se
Terrapin Station
Dec. 30, 1990
Coliseum Arena

Underrated af????? Comes out of space and the pre drums of this set is no slouch either, containing a nearly 20 min Playin'. A really great treat that's executed well and segues into Sugar Mag
Playin' In The Band
Dec. 30, 1990
Coliseum Arena

The band had come out to play! Beautiful melding of everyone's instruments - Phil thundering along. I really love the tone Jerry locks into for this one - sharper, less spacy
Dark Hollow
Oct. 11, 1980
Warfield Theater

Great Dark Holler
Uncle John's Band
Dec. 27, 1987
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

The new Ultramatrix really clears up this one, what a great version
