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 $$$$

Greatest Story Ever Told
Oct. 19, 1972
Fox Theatre

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

So Many Roads

Boston Garden

This one is spot on
Tennessee Jed
Dec. 14, 1971
Hill Auditorium

This obviously wasn't the opener; Mac auto-type fail
Bertha
July 4, 1989
Rich Stadium

I could NOT get this to post. I tried and it came out as 1/1/65. Bar none, my favorite Bertha. The mid jam is absolutely sublime. Jerry hit a perfect note that will forever standout in my head
Walking Blues
July 1, 1985
Merriweather Post Pavilion

I don't even necessarily like this song, but the buys crush this front to back. Bobby even has some nice supportive axe work
Smokestack Lightnin'
June 24, 1985
River Bend Music Center

Jeeze, He's Gone -> Smokestack -> Cryptical -> Drums -> (Awesome) Space. Hard to ask for a better sequence. Bad ass
