The Other One
Sept. 10, 1983
Downs of Santa Fe

Don’t miss this wild, careening thrill ride. Start at Playin’ to get the full effect.

Drums -> Space
Sept. 10, 1983
Downs of Santa Fe

Vivid Drums followed by extraordinary Space: a bright, melodic Bob and Jerry jam, then bicycle horns and a rich TOO intro jam.

Playin' In The Band
Sept. 10, 1983
Downs of Santa Fe

More sinister than seductively psychedelic. -> A fairly uptempo China Doll, forming one of my favorite ’83 combos.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 19, 1989
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Just ferocious by the end of Rider, but there’s lots to enjoy all the way through this combo.

Ramble On Rose
Sept. 28, 1972
Stanley Theatre

Much like the Philly version a week earlier, this one really shines.

Looks Like Rain
July 14, 1984
Greek Theatre - University of California

Brent's clever accompaniment helps the ending jam levitate and glide.
Loser
July 13, 1984
Greek Theatre, U. Of California

This version has IT.
Bird Song
Nov. 30, 1981
Hara Arena

The new Seamons matrix sounds perfect. Let the sound wash over you …
Deal
Feb. 26, 1977
Swing Auditorium

Kicks so much ass. I won’t call you crazy if you prefer the pre-retirement Deals, but if you don’t, this might be The One.
Mama Tried
Feb. 26, 1977
Swing Auditorium

One of those performances where you can hear how much they loved this song and how fun it is to play and sing.
