Nice, long middle jam. Outro jam into Eyes is also great. Played well all around. The new Severson FOB Aud sounds incredible. Check it out!

Black Peter
Dec. 26, 1981
Oakland Auditorium

It’s already such a great Black Peter but then you get this crazy, unique jazzy jam at the end. Unlike any other version.
The Eleven
Dec. 26, 1981
Oakland Auditorium

There’s a gentle build to the actual Eleven jam that is just...gorgeous. Emotive and unique, and the Eleven part is fiery stuff
Estimated Prophet
Dec. 26, 1981
Oakland Auditorium

Following an equally astounding Scarlet>Fire, this Estimated really brings the goods. Faster than your average version, not a missed note, and some godlike interplay between the boys. Don’t miss this one.
Drums -> Space
Jan. 11, 1978
Shrine Auditorium

A short drums segment with Phil that leads into an extended jazzy full band jam before St. Stephen. Unique and beautiful.
The Other One
Aug. 20, 1972
San Jose Civic Auditorium

If the board was a bit cleaner and there wasn’t that unfortunate AUD cut, this would be much more highly regarded. If you can hang around for the ride, it’s a real mind twister with poignant, fluid jams to boot.
