It can't be said enough how well Bobby plays this show. This is basically a rhythm guitar duel with Jerry, and it kicks ass.

An early but good one. The rhythm section kills, and Jerry's solo is wah-heavy and psychedelic.

Long before this song was a 15-minute soloing showcase, Jerry put the gusto into his vocals. This one exemplifies that - the whole band sounds great!

The band hits another gear toward the end, especially after the false ending. I've never heard Billy go as crazy as this before. Great one!

This song was a firestorm in the early Keith era - just listen to him bang those keys here! You can practically see the smoke billowing from his keys.

Great version of a goofy song that people take WAAAAAAY too seriously. It's meant to be dumb fun and nothing else, and BOY is this a fun one!

Holy shit. This one goes on and on, and Jerry is WILD. Fantastic version.

Laid back, well-played, and some excellent piano playing by Keith. This one may not have the tempo of classic versions, but it's TIGHT as hell.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Deer Creek Music Center

Hot hot hot! Everyone sounds great, and it's got a groove reminiscent of those classic 70's versions. Fun version from a strong show.
Feel Like A Stranger

State Fairgrounds

Really unique and jazzy jam - this song had a bunch of great versions in Maine (5/11/80, 10/12/84, and this one)
