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

Merriweather Post Pavilion

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

Saint of Circumstance
Oct. 28, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Thunderous. One of the best stand-alone's I've ever heard.
Eyes Of The World
Oct. 27, 1990
The Zenith

"Eyes" was not done on this date, it's the show from the "30 Trips" box.
Saint of Circumstance
June 18, 1989
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Yet 7/17 was just as good as the next two, go figure. Really shows that even at their best they could be pretty unpredictable.

This is an absolute train wreck of a performance from start to finish. This whole show is shockingly low quality for a year that contends to be their best, and this "Saint" is the nadir: tragically low energy, hilariously off vocal from Bobby, and the whole band sounds like they have no idea what they're doing, really. Brent was especially off this show. Unique and exciting looking set list but they execute this one poorly.
Truckin'
Sept. 3, 1977
Raceway Park

Had no idea they didn't play this one for nearly two years (I always assumed this was one of those songs that never, ever fell out of rotation), but that makes it all the more special.
