Winterland Arena

Filter attack on the bridge, contrasts well with the burst-into-flames version from the night before

Clean and exploratory, with active Brent, yet not as telepathic as others

Long Beach Arena

Quite enthusiastic/ recording is crip --- test me, test me... BOOM!

New Minglewood Blues
Jan. 6, 1978
Swing Auditorium

Elastic and lilting drive – perfect for those somersaulting leads out of the halfpipe

Sugar Magnolia
Dec. 31, 1972
Winterland Arena

Huge wave on this one. Inexplicably buried in this list. Pounces almost as hard as the blowout on 2/9.
Don't Ease Me In
Oct. 19, 1973
Oklahoma City Fairgrounds Arena

Raucous, bursting at the seams.
Hell in a Bucket
July 16, 1990
Rich Stadium

Yes. Last Brent show for me.
Eyes Of The World
Jan. 5, 1979
The Spectrum

Very exploratory outing.
Cumberland Blues
Aug. 14, 1971

Phil unleashed throughout this stand
