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

Not the longest, by any stretch, but incredibly airy and beautiful for Bobby's B-day. Worth a listen for sure

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

Definitely cranks. Some muddy buttsweat gully funk treats, doled out in abun-dance. Lesh sounds F'n GORGEOUS on the new SBD release
China Doll

Could turn any steely exterior into an emotive pile of love goo
Black Throated Wind

Adams Field House, U of Montana

Nice, mellow version. It doesn't have the explosive Bobby chaw at the end, but it comes together well for a pleasant finish

Good call on Keith with the B3 - you can really hear it more clearly on the new SBDs. Definitely gives it an eerie feel
