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 $$$$

Fox Theatre

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

Playin' In The Band
Sept. 23, 1972
Palace Theater

This one really moves along. Not a lull in sight. I have been all over Keith's manbag recently and this version is no different. Guy shines in his fills. Playin's slayed in fall '72 and this one is a definitely on par
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 17, 1972
Tivolis Koncertsal

Merriam webster defines "heady" as Keith's fills in this China > Rider transition. Guy is an unsung hero. F'n tasty China jam here
Chinatown Shuffle
April 14, 1972
Tivolis Koncertsal

Boogie down shit
The Other One
April 26, 1972
Jahrhunderthalle

It has been a very long time since I have spun this show. Good to see that this O1 can still birth a cosmic brain baby after all of this time. Myriad stylistic shifts, from jam segment to jam segment. There is a several minute jam portion in the middle that is straight nasty
Eyes Of The World
March 25, 1990
Knickerbocker Arena

To double down on my comments for this version, this one is fucking fire! Definitely does not get the dap it deserves. Set the table for the Branford sit in, but stands wholeheartedly on its own as a blissful, intricate, driving masterpiece.
