Mama Tried
June 16, 1990
Shoreline Amphitheatre
Tight version with a spirited solo from Jerry.

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.

Mexicali Blues
July 31, 1974
Dillon Stadium
Bill really is on fire, but so is Jerry. Clean, precise leads with interesting fills throughout. Pretty top-shelf version of what's usually a filler song.
Loser
May 25, 1977
The Mosque
Yeah, the opening solo just feels botched. I love what Phil is up to though. Shame it doesn't all come together.
Caution
May 11, 1972
Rotterdam Civic Hall
Multiple heady passages, including a super bluesy Other One jam early on. Top shelf version.
Spanish Jam
April 28, 1985
Frost Amphitheatre
I'm not hearing it. Very cool Space, but no Spanish Jam here
Playin' In The Band
April 28, 1985
Frost Amphitheatre
Just because it's not epic in length doesn't mean it isn't super heavy and full of great ideas. Lovely version.
