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

RFK Stadium

This one is tight and has a lovely, fluttering melodic peak. A choice version and a go-to track on the new RFK release, for sure

Not usually my tune, but my good GOD, Jerry annihilates these solos
Not Fade Away

Giants Stadium

This is a RIPPING good. Full shred, with thumping percussion. Wow.
Feel Like A Stranger

Providence Civic Center

The stank on this solo requires open windows when listening, for proper ventilation.

Crisler Arena

This is all about the seamless segues in and out of PITB. Jerry's vocals are rough this show, but the creativity and placement in the 2nd set make this a goodie
