Another strong version from Brent's last year. Colorful with a swirling energy.

Albuquerque Civic Auditorium

There’s something about the pluck of this early version. Fresh and surprising even if you’ve heard a billion Jack Straws.

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

Brent's clever accompaniment helps the ending jam levitate and glide.
Loser

Greek Theatre, U. Of California

This version has IT.
Bird Song

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.
