Some really nimble guitar work by Jerry. Ripping version

Great dichotomy between Jerry and Duane's solos

Metropolitan Sports Center

The SBD I scooped had a Wang Dang Doodle-ish soundcheck that came with it. Some pretty slinky shit. Worth checking if you can track it down

Cotterell Gym - Colgate University

Patient build into a soaring version. Glides nicely into a Playin' Reprise

The Palladium

Massive version! Was spinning on the treadmill at the gym and felt like I was going to run through the wall. Serious way to open a show!

Very nice full band peak on this. Brent rips. Great way to open a show!
Samson and Delilah
March 25, 1990
Knickerbocker Arena

CHURCH! Brent lays into the jam nicely
Bird Song
March 25, 1990
Knickerbocker Arena

Great spacey jam in this one. Really dug it, save for a minute or two of MIDI flute. Solid version for sure
Eyes Of The World
March 25, 1990
Knickerbocker Arena

Agree on all accounts. The slower, swinging tempo harkens to early 70's versions. Flows very nicely
Greatest Story Ever Told
March 31, 1973
War Memorial

I may be crazy, but it sounds like Jerry is hinting at St Stephen licks during the peak
