Jack Straw

Spartan Stadium - San Jose State University

Brent's 1st song with the band. Multiple Lesh bombs, rollicking drums, smoking Jerry licks, and impassioned vocals. Fine welcome to the band!

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

Go for it Dark Star '67! You will not be disappointed... The Franklin's is certainly no slouch either. Boys came to play at RRs. I just had another replay and this H>S>F is the truth
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

This Slipknot is insanely good. Ok, NOW i'll stop raving about this criminally underrated show...
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
Sept. 6, 1983
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Brent and Bobby shouting "my lightning TOO!!," followed by a stunning, full band Supplication jam. This version is a screamer. Ok, i'll shut up about this incredible show...
Bird Song

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Brent and Jerry take this one to an inspiring peak. Spin, post-haste!

This one is absolutely lovely. A nice emotive respite after a rocking Alabama and Greatest Story start. Bouncy leads from Jerry and tasteful fills from Brent. Easily an unheralded version
