Maybe just another Wheel, but this show, especially after the Lay Me Down, felt to be all about recovering after saying good-bye to Brent.....

Eyes Of The World
Aug. 12, 1979
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Scorching Eyes!
Lost Sailor
Aug. 12, 1979
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Before there was a Saint there was a Sailor! Literally, Lost Sailor existed on his own for a few shows before Bobby and Barlow figured out the Saint of Circumstance. There’s something very lovely and energetic about this stand alone version…..
He Was A Friend of Mine
June 8, 1969
Fillmore West

One of the early Jerry ballads I really wish they kept in the repertoire. Always so moving and powerful, always kicks up great memories of all the great friends who’ve gone on ahead of us……
Dancin' in the Streets
June 8, 1969
Fillmore West

As jammy and fluid and fun as the 76-78 versions are, there is a savage urgency in the Dancin’s of 69-70. Their ability to turn such a great Motown classic into a raging beast of fiery psychedelic magic is # 712 as to why they were the only band that did what they did.
Terrapin Station
May 12, 1991
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Some of the best ever Terrapins happened in the Bruce era!!
