Don't Ease Me In
July 10, 1989
Giants Stadium

Usually a bit of a throwaway for me, but this one was lyrically enthusiastic with tight playing

Giants Stadium

Tight, bright version. A great yin to the Stranger yang opener

Hey Pocky Way
April 30, 1988
Frost Amphitheatre

Blistering, full band energy. Crunchy Brent, fiery Jerry soloing - Bobby notes pre-song, this is the "drummer's choice" - Version cranks

Absolutely glistening solo from Jerry and tasteful tonal fills from Brent. Choice

Super tight, funky, slinky Stranger, to really get the night moving. HOT

Turn On Your Love Light

Labor Temple

This one is hot. Jerry gets an Allman brothers slide-type feel at the end of the first Lovelight. Very cool
Mountains of the Moon
April 26, 1969
The Electric Theatre

Outro jam on this is everything. Broody, melodic psychedelic soup
Brother Esau

Philadelphia Civic Center

Love Esau and this is a solid, tight, moseying version
Feel Like A Stranger
April 20, 1984
Philadelphia Civic Center

This version is sweaty... super funk jam, killer opener
Black Throated Wind
Feb. 21, 1995
Delta Center

Rare that you see a comment that just says "garbage" without any justification. This show is one of the few that I go back to from '95, so I listened to this version again with a critical ear. To me, the boys sound on. Bobby crushes the vocals, Jerry is dexterous and nimble with his leads, the band swells nicely at the peak/conclusion. Sure, it's not '72 era sound, but it's still a solid version.
