Dupree's Diamond Blues
Oct. 5, 1984
Charlotte Coliseum
The playing is perfect fairground calliope blues. You won’t care about the fudged lyrics or scratchy singing.

Truckin'
Aug. 31, 1980
Capitol Center
Powerful ending with Phil thumping away high on the fretboard. > Drums.

Jack Straw
Sept. 18, 1983
Nevada County Fairgrounds
This show proves hot out of the gate with this fiercely jammed Jack Straw. The Andrew F recording sounds amazing, too.

Not Fade Away
April 5, 1989
Crisler Arena
More evidence for the NFAissance of 1989. Torn to shreds.

Drums -> Space
July 15, 1984
Greek Theatre - University of California
Xylophone loop madness in Drums, then a creepy two-note riff by Bobby surfaces several times in Space.

Ramble On Rose
May 11, 1977
St. Paul Civic Center Arena
Thick, rubbery-bouncy version. Fantastic follow-up to a gorgeous LLR.
Wharf Rat
May 21, 1974
Edmundson Pavilion
Now, I like the 46-minute Playin’ (not everyone does, as you will see if you read the comments), but even I’m inclined to say that Eyes > Wharf Rat is the apex of the show and one of the greatest moments of the month. It doesn’t get sweeter — more passionately and resourcefully realized — than this.
Wharf Rat
Oct. 14, 1977
Hofheinz Pavilion
I can’t even believe this thing.
Friend of the Devil
Sept. 18, 1983
Nevada County Fairgrounds
A lot of very generous playing in the first few songs of this show — just a bounty of notes, all of them well chosen. Again, I’ll say: The Andrew F source sounds fantastic.
When I Paint My Masterpiece
July 10, 1990
Carter-Finley Stadium
Substantially energized by the storm and/or Bruce’s presence. Slathered in IT. Among the very best.
