Johnny B. Goode
April 3, 1989
Civic Arena

Fun MIDI solo from Jerry that's answered by an equally hot keyboard solo from Brent. One of the better 80s versions.

When Push Comes to Shove
April 1, 1988
Meadowlands Arena

The band takes their time and digs into this one more than usual. You can tell they're having a lot of fun.

Friend of the Devil
July 24, 1987
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

The only thing more mind-blowing than this version is the fact that no one has nominated it yet.

Space
May 6, 1981
Nassau Coliseum

Coming out of a pretty typical Drums, Space develops into an extended, very melodic full-band groove that grows carefully into a hot Other One.

C. C. Rider
Oct. 13, 1980
Warfield Theater

Aggressive yet patient and focused.

New Minglewood Blues
May 4, 1977
The Palladium

I love Keith's solo on this, it has more of that barroom piano feel that was common pre-hiatus than any other Minglewood I've ever heard.
Let It Grow
Oct. 2, 1976
Riverfront Arena

Some really tricky, inventive leads from Jerry. There are more epic versions, to be sure, but this one has some unique spunk that makes it worth seeking out.
The Other One
March 26, 1972
Academy of Music

These shows marginalized as warmup for Europe, but the main jam segment, including this Other One is every bit on the same plane as the Europe 72 second sets.

Truckin'

The jazz jam between Phil and Keith is not to be missed.
