Walking Blues

Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

Excellent Walkin' Blues from the Dueling Keyboard era - an exemplar of '91

Brokedown Palace
March 19, 1995
The Spectrum

Encore at show that premiered Unbroken Chain live. A warm, coherent, and emotional Brokedown in an era of mediocrity. RIP Jerry

Samson and Delilah
March 28, 1989
The Omni

Solid Set Opener, not as intense as later versions in the year but excellent nonetheless

Not Fade Away
Dec. 6, 1981
Rosemont Horizon

Out of a spectacular space comes this masterpiece, chock full of jamming - descends into a great Wharf Rat

Wharf Rat
Dec. 9, 1988
Long Beach Arena

Excellent Wharf with mighty fine jamming, leads into an unconventional Watchtower set closer

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
