Civic Center

Funky version slathered in Fender Rhodes gets an incendiary Jerry solo.

Capital Centre

Ominous dark synth lead-in to a great Other One.

Sugaree

Cardinal Stadium

Wow, everyone’s playing the hell out of this Sugaree! The band is clearly ON.

Uptown Theater

These long freaky Drumses from ’78 are really compelling. The band must have felt so too, since Drums>Space, uh, stuck around!

Jerry's solo is on point, really precise and eloquent.

Truckin'
May 20, 1973
U.C.

Intense swing, almost like a version from a year later. Hard to believe all that Truckin’ > Other One fits into a comparatively modest 31-minute package.
Shakedown Street
April 11, 1989
Rosemont Horizon

As if hypnotized by the groove, the band brings the jam down to a quiet plane before ratcheting up for the conclusion.
Samson and Delilah
Sept. 22, 1991
Boston Garden

I really like the dual keyboard action in this one. While Bruce is pure Old Dominion roll, Vince rocks, sounding agreeably like Garth Hudson. Good showcase for the era.
Estimated Prophet
July 22, 1990
World Music Theater

The midsong jam in G didn’t do much for me, but the outro is the best kind of midified chaos.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Sept. 4, 1980
Providence Civic Center

Whoa.
