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

The meat and this one is hearty. Whole segment deserves more dap
Uncle John's Band

Cow Palace

Notable for not only just the segues both in and out of these UJBs, but flowing jamming throughout the song segments themselves
Playin' In The Band

Cow Palace

Genuinely surprised to see how low this is rated. Aside from a rather comical false start, this leads off a major jam sandwich for the ages. This Playin' in particular is gooey, flowing, creative, and melodic. Just my kind of jamming for the song. Flows effortlessly into subsequent segues. Haven't respun in ages and this segment holds up perfectly, on new vinyl release no less!

I had a serious moment with this one last night... A complete emotional powerhouse. This version is everything

Big and bouncy. As noted, Phil pumps this Lucy UP
