Playin' In The Band
Nov. 24, 1972
Dallas Memorial Auditorium

Wow, seemingly a very overlooked gem. Tension and release, weaving effortlessly from mellow jam segments to soaring peaks, without screechy breakdown

You Win Again
April 26, 1972
Jahrhunderthalle

Moseying version. Jerry lays down buttery licks and Keith rides some nice fills. Zippidy doo dah tuning jam to follow

Saint of Circumstance
Dec. 30, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Great Saint, though the goods are in the MLB > Dear Prudence jam that follows. I can only imagine the level of blue balls in the house for that tease

The Music Never Stopped
Sept. 25, 1991
Boston Garden

I always liked this version. The boys gel together nicely for a peaky crescendo

Freight train of energy

Saratoga Performing Arts Center

Some minorly marbled lyrics, but this jam slays. Very energetic
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
June 14, 1980
Spokane Coliseum

Rock clinic. Full band screaming the vocals by the end
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
July 27, 1982
Red Rocks Ampitheatre

Super clean, precise C>R. Jam out of China is nimble and melodic.
Eyes Of The World
June 14, 1980
Spokane Coliseum

Played at 5x the speed of lightening, this one still has legs and melody for a 12 min version. Nimble throughout, though almost dizzyingly rapid and immediate.
Feel Like A Stranger
Dec. 13, 1980
Long Beach Arena

Gross. I'm sweaty and all I did was listen. Funk disco dead kills
