Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
Dec. 28, 1980
Oakland Auditorium

Very tight performance that’s still packed with holiday run excitement. The Miller/Clugston board sounds great for the era, too.

Throwing Stones

Warfield Theater

Jerry repeats an interesting pattern during the main jam section that Brent picks up on later (using the marimba patch!).

Hot outro resolves into a brief contemplative space before yielding to Drums.

Nassau Coliseum

Sparkling, energetic version. The first set of the Nassau run is a great one!

Its All Over Now
Oct. 20, 1978
Winterland Arena

Grooves smartly with excellent contributions from each member. The whole first set is hot and worth a listen.

Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
May 17, 1978
Uptown Theater

Fresh, rowdy, and fast. The way the band (mostly) keeps this from going off the rails is both thrilling and impressive.
It Must Have Been The Roses
May 17, 1978
Uptown Theater

Exquisitely played, and the sound of this Seamons matrix is to die for.
The Other One
Nov. 23, 1973
County Coliseum

This brain-rattling is exactly what I needed to get through a trying afternoon.
Morning Dew
Jan. 3, 1970
Fillmore East

Volcanic eruption. Cataclysmic.
Good Lovin'
Jan. 2, 1970
Fillmore East (Late Show)

There’s a lot to love here despite the relative brevity, not least of which is that sassy late ’69 – early ’70 cowbell I can’t get enough of.
