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

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

The Eleven

Deservedly at the top spot, this one is a psychedelic swinging masterpiece

Black Throated Wind

Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

That comment was absolutely perfect/hilarious and I could not agree more. This and Barton - fine shows, no question, but not every song is the best ever. "Jerry cleared his throat as set two started and it was the best throat clearing the band has ever done."
Dark Hollow

Fillmore East

Oh man, this is flawless! Grisman with some amazing fills on mandolin. Such a bute!
