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

Get Back
Jan. 28, 1987
San Francisco Civic Auditorium

WTF is with Bobby's high pitched echo feature on his vocals - suuuuuuuuuper weird. Makes this a bit challenging to listen to, though Brent rips a solid solo
