U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
Dec. 9, 1981
Activity Center - University of Colorado

Part of a nice 1-2 punch encore; the final, high energy rockers really elevate this show.

New Minglewood Blues
April 12, 1978
Cameron Indoor Stadium

Energetic version sandwiched between a KILLER Row Jimmy and an interestingly tempoed Loser.

Ramble On Rose
Dec. 30, 1979
Oakland Auditorium

Nice pace and vocals, almost as rockin' as the (pinnacle) '78 versions, with some Brent keys thrown in.

Brown Eyed Women
Sept. 24, 1972
Palace Theatre

Nifty '72 BEW sets-up a lovely, exploratory PITB...hold on to your hats for set 2, with a criminally underrated top 10 of all-time Dark Star.

It's All Over Now Baby Blue
June 14, 1991
RFK Stadium

Nice encore to a stellar show...with Bruce taking us out on accordian!

Yes. Yes. Yes. Pretty and mellow and groovin'.
Space
July 17, 1976
Orpheum Theatre

(i know technically this could/should be considered an extension of the other one jam...but as it is called "space" on the official release...anyway, super slow and meandering at first, but give it time...for "space", which i'm usually not a big fan of, it's pretty trippy in a mellow, sleepy, jazzy and eventually 'heady' way...unique, for sure.)
Playin' In The Band
Sept. 17, 1972
Baltimore Civic Center

What a beauty. Wasn't expecting this one to be such a highlight. Almost instantly entered my top 5 . . .with one listen!
Satisfaction
July 7, 1986
RFK Stadium

Worth the listen for the band introductions alone...how fun is that?!
Friend of the Devil
Sept. 17, 1972
Baltimore Civic Center

Much bigger fan of the slower, later versions, especially '78, but this one is nice. Bouncy, tight, fun––I had to sing along!
