One More Saturday Night
June 23, 1990
Autzen Stadium

A good one played on a Saturday night. Kicks into gear in the second half. Brent's organ is stellar, and Jerry's midi textures add flavor to the mix

Not Fade Away
Sept. 21, 1982
Madison Square Garden

Fiery, with loads of Brent organ and a tight jam. Everyone's totally locked into the groove.

Me and My Uncle
Oct. 11, 1983
Madison Square Garden

Big energy, a good Jerry solo, no lyrical flubs, and transitions into a hot Mexicali Blues. What else could you ask for?

Dupree's Diamond Blues
Sept. 20, 1982
Madison Square Garden

Is there a single version of Dupree's that DOESN'T put a smile on your face? This one's a ton of fun, and a big highlight of an under-appreciated show

Madison Square Garden

Brent's piano is a major factor in this hot version. Tempo is just exactly perfect.

Playin' In The Band

Great version with tons of experimentation that doesn't deserve that whole essay on why it sucks. Don't like it? Fine, no problem. But don't ruin the fun for others. Let people enjoy what they want to enjoy, y'know? It's not an insult to you (nor is it a disaster) if people like this version. On a lighter note, I can't think of any PITB that gets weirder than this one. The synths and breakdowns are thrilling for fans of noise rock, and the band's playing is top-notch. I love it!

Vince is a big part of this one. I love his contributions here - he's dabbling in madness right alongside Jerry.

^ If I were to guess, the "block" and "unfollow" buttons are in the same place as the "report" and "ban" buttons. That is to say, nowhere to be found. Ah well. At least this was a good reminder to give this show another listen sometime soon. :)

^ Eew. What a weird, creepy, and totally irrelevant thing to say. Hope you reconsider writing this and delete it soon.

Love this version - one of my favorites! Man, '71 had some great ones, didn't it?
