Space
April 3, 1982
The Scope

This brief Space is more of an extended Jerry-led intro to NFA, and it's way cool. This show is out of sight.

Bird Song
June 13, 1994
Memorial Stadium

Adventurous, somewhat dissonant jam from a fairly strong first set. Fans of Welnick-era improv should check this out.

Its All Over Now
Nov. 10, 1985
Meadowlands Arena

Rowdy but still sharply played. Check out this superb first set.

Row Jimmy
June 21, 1976
Tower Theater

Intense and electrifying, highlighted perhaps by Jerry’s vocal performance. Another amazing June ’76 Row Jimmy.

I Need A Miracle
Dec. 17, 1978
Fox Theatre

Hot early version with a well-developed Jerry-led outro jam. Check out the amazing Joann Walker recording.

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.
