Can't believe I'm submitting this. Long and fun drum circle that's notable because our Jer Bear whips out a steel pan and joins in.

For a few minutes wembley in '90 becomes the fillmore in the summer of 1970, the way the Dead just slide into a no-nonsense Big River. Shivers

Rec Hall, Penn State U

really locked in on this. The lost sailor is just beautiful, Brent's rhodes playing is magical
The Other One
Oct. 21, 1978
Winterland Arena

short but absolutely shredding. You'll seldom hear them get as nasty loud as you do at the climax of this TOO. And seamleassly goes into the best Stella Blue ever, to boot.

Yale Bowl, Yale University

Pristine early UJB. Pig on that tambourine is super nice....

Great take cucamonga. I love 71 Sugar Mags when the boys would sing the verses in harmony. This one's a heater, Billy having a field day
