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 $$$$

Fox Theatre

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

Autzen Stadium - University of Oregon

Absolutely lovely version. Jerry's vocals are spot on and crisp.

Nassau Coliseum

This is so perfectly paced. Delicate and patient, to a chilling peak. Love instances where the boys show that they can still dial into the magic in the later years.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon

Always loved this monster Fire. Such a deep cut - very heady for any era. Oregon sparked the best in the boys

Meadowlands Arena

Phil is all over this like stink on a monkey. Jerry shred drives the crowd into a frenzy. Super peaky finish. Choice!
Smokestack Lightnin'

Carrier Dome, Syracuse U

The jam in this is super hot and creative. Relatively short it may be, but this packs a nice punch.
