Forum Theater

The connective tissue between a legendary S>F and a very underrated '81 Terrapin, this is a mellow exploration that unfolds beautifully

Moody Coliseum - Southern Methodist University

Doesn't get more disco than this. The Dusborne matrix version is filthy, crunchy, and powerful. My personal fav for some time now. Play it loud!

Indianapolis State Fair Coliseum

If the soundboard were cleaner, this would be a classic. The climax is absolutely stunning and seems to never end.

The mix isn't the best, but the performance is stellar. Definitely worth checking out.

Let It Grow

Warfield Theater

Part of an unusual sequence between Tennessee Jed and The Wheel. A standard version for the era, elevated by focused playing and smooth transitions

The final jam is absolutely smoking! Also has that crazy opening jam out of space, this is one of the best versions I’ve heard yet.
