Feel Like A Stranger

Coliseum Arena

Hot version with Hornsby.

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
Sept. 20, 1990
Madison Square Garden

Don't know how this one wasn't submitted yet. One of the most fired up versions I've ever heard from the first great post-Brent show.

Good Lovin'
May 26, 1995
Memorial Stadium

I know, I know, 1995, but this is a strong, fun version, from a surprisingly strong show.

New Minglewood Blues
June 20, 1983
Merriweather Post Pavilion

This version shoots out like a pressure bullet...kick-ass version to open a hot show on a rainy night.

Samba In The Rain
Oct. 18, 1994
Madison Square Garden

Why does it need to be a contest? "Samba," "Wave," "Shoe Fits," "Childhood's End," "Easy Answers," they are all shit.
The Wheel
Feb. 17, 1979
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

"The Wheel" was indeed turning and a new era of the band was about to begin.
Don't Ease Me In
Feb. 17, 1979
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

One of the most effective versions of a pretty limited song. The vocals are indeed quite nice.
Greatest Story Ever Told
Feb. 17, 1979
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

No nonsense version. You could tell they missed playing this one. Keith is even awake here. Jerry's playing like a madman. They ambush this one.
Man Smart, Woman Smarter
May 3, 1986
Cal Expo

Show is wall to wall highlights and sounds like it could've came from the post-coma renaissance period of 1987-91 as opposed to the troubled pre-coma period. Great set list and the playing is absolutely spectacular throughout.
