Beat it on Down The Line
June 28, 1974
Boston Garden

Not just high-energy but a little manic and dangerous. Listen for some sneaky fills by Keith.

Uncle John's Band
July 10, 1990
Carter-Finley Stadium

Some very impressive jamming in this Playin' > Uncle John's > Playin' from Brent's last month on the road.

He's Gone

Soulful outro in perfect five-part counterpoint.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Feb. 20, 1971

Wild, anarchic jam before the transition the transition back to NFA, replete with Jerry harmonics and Phil bombs.

He's Gone
July 6, 1990
Cardinal Stadium

Blistering bluesy jam morphs into Other One-esque maelstrom. From a jamming perspective, among the best ever.
Terrapin Station
June 28, 1985
Hershey Park Stadium

Brent adds some fine contributions, novel solutions to the puzzle that is "Terrapin."
Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues
June 28, 1985
Hershey Park Stadium

Damn! Jerry! Brent! Phil! This is good stuff. Very competitive with the (later) era when they were drilling Dylan songs c o n s t a n t l y.
The Music Never Stopped
June 28, 1985
Hershey Park Stadium

Several sections are twisted into cathartic dance jams. Excellent mid-'80s version.
He's Gone
Nov. 17, 1972
Century II Convention Hall

Wow. One of my favorite standalone versions now. Just exactly perfect.
