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

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

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 $$$$

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

Smokestack Lightnin'

Big, boisterous blues jam in this. Excellent landing pad for a smokin' version of Truckin' and the boys jam nicely on the number before drums > space. Check it

I've been in a huge 89'-90' dead era cycle lately (particularly for Garcia's proclivity for Hendrixian shredding sorcery) and this Truckin' > Smokestack is so filthy, that I immediately respun. The Truckin' itself hits a tizzy of a windup and Bobby effortlessly segues them into a bar room brawl version of Smokestack. Highly recommend'd

Comment on variety of jams is spot on. They tie together nicely at several points, with several distinct themes
