"It's a little tune in honor of this building" - rockin' Samson set opener

Samson and Delilah
March 10, 1985
Berkeley Community Theatre

Sweet show opener where the *whole* band is on - even as an AUD only you can clearly hear the entire band

Spanish Jam
April 17, 1982
Hartford Civic Center

A rare Spanish Jam without Jerry, but Bobby, Brent, and Phil make it sweet nonetheless

Hampton Coliseum

Superb transition from space into this classic Traffic cover - nailed just right on all levels

The Other One
May 17, 1981
Onondaga Auditorium

Short but blazing - a personal favorite. Brent's Hammond truly makes this shine. He's Gone>O1 is just such an awesome combo

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
