Let It Grow
Played at break-neck speed. Has Jerry ever played faster? Phil releases full chordal bombs

It Must Have Been The Roses
The crowd reaction to the first few notes earns it a spot on the list.
8
Maybe You Know
First set version of the rare Brent tune, last version before the "meltdown version" 3 years later.
11
Truckin'
Meaty version out of space with some nice vocal improvisations by Bobby and a killer epilogue jam which flows beautifully into a quick NBF Jam

Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
WOw can not believe this is not here this is truly amazing the slipknot is possibly the best of the 80's tremendous,Help is 5* and FT peaks many times

New Minglewood Blues
This one delivers the jam - everyone contributes...after a smokin Shakedown (source:CM)

Throwing Stones
Off of Dave's Picks 39. One of the earlier pairings with NFA, transition could be hotter, but all in all good jamming
7
Man Smart, Woman Smarter
Brent tickling the ivories and Jerry noodling away, just beautiful. Builds into the drums really nicely. Released on Dave's Picks 39

Not Fade Away
Nice vocal jam with the crowd taking part, only wish they jammed it longer. Brent sounds amazing on that Hammond, but is anyone surprised? DvP39
