Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Oct. 16, 1981
Melkweg

This is a lightening fast bowl of nose clams, played 100x the speed of hyperspace. Worth it just to hear how fast the boys ventured to take this on

The Wheel

Melkweg

Not the longest, by any stretch, but incredibly airy and beautiful for Bobby's B-day. Worth a listen for sure

Feelin' Groovy Jam

Springfield Civic Center

Super interesting jam out of a surprising Truckin' > NFBM jam > Drums > Feeling Groovy jam. The first few min of keys/drum/bass after drums is $$$$

Greatest Story Ever Told

Fox Theatre

Seriously high octane. A very subtle St Stephen lick by Jerry in the closing jam

Booming peak jam, then a flawless segue back into TOO

The Weight
July 23, 1990
World Music Theatre

RIP Brent. His final lyrics are tear jerking in context
Cumberland Blues
July 17, 1989
Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Brent playing like he’s possessed. His link up with Jerry is positively electric. Crusher of a version
Dark Star
May 7, 1972
Bickershaw Festival

Surprising this one doesn't get more dap, because it is a creamy ride through the cosmos. Far more mellow than some of the angular versions from tour, this one is a relaxing sonic cushion to float through deep space. Love it
Chinatown Shuffle
April 14, 1972
Tivolis Koncertsal

Back again on this one. Keith absolutely CHEWING up the scenery. So chunky on the boards. Choice doesn't begin to describe
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
April 25, 1977
Capitol Theater

Often a plug and play, obligatory closer, but this one is different. Band attacks with insane fervor and energy. Colossal high energy closer to an incredible show.
