Beat it on Down The Line
June 28, 1974
Boston Garden

Not just high-energy but a little manic and dangerous. Listen for some sneaky fills by Keith.

Uncle John's Band
July 10, 1990
Carter-Finley Stadium

Some very impressive jamming in this Playin' > Uncle John's > Playin' from Brent's last month on the road.

He's Gone
Oct. 21, 1973
Omaha Civic Auditorium

Soulful outro in perfect five-part counterpoint.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Feb. 20, 1971
Capitol Theater

Wild, anarchic jam before the transition the transition back to NFA, replete with Jerry harmonics and Phil bombs.

One More Saturday Night
May 19, 1974

Jittery rocker blazing with creative energy. So much damn fun!

Tennessee Jed
Sept. 24, 1972
Palace Theatre

I’m on an upvoting spree this first set, which is to say — it’s all so good. Don’t skip any of the short songs on the way to the big jams.
Terrapin Station
Aug. 4, 1982
Kiel Auditorium

This is an exceptionally well-played Terrapin even before they get to the jam. With the jam, this is a reasonable contender for the Top 25. Brent shows off his jazz chops throughout.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 3, 1979
Uptown Theatre

Commenting purely on the audio: Anyone checking out this show should hear the Dusborne matrix, which is much livelier and more detailed than the muddy-sounding Dave’s Picks release.
To Lay Me Down
Nov. 20, 1973
Denver Coliseum

Altogether almost faultless, this one climaxes nicely with Jerry’s solo.
Black Throated Wind
Nov. 20, 1973
Denver Coliseum

Fabulous performance all around!
