Black Muddy River
April 11, 1987
UIC Pavilion

Glowing, warm encore with sweet Brent vocals/keys and solid Phil touches.

Let It Grow
Sept. 21, 1973
The Spectrum

Horn Section of Fierro and Ellis with nice touches on this. Might be an acquired taste but if you like it check out the Legion of Mary stuff.

Evans Field House, Northern Illinois University

Rips hard and has a raunchy edge with DJ's excellent backup work. There a gazillion Jack Straws but this deserves a listen.

Jerry comes out and pounds the crowd to dust - sheesh.

That 10/29/77 rings a bell - I know I've heard it but can't recall it specifically - gonna go check it on your recommend Grendel. If it's anything like this one I am sure I will dig it.

Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

'84 is underappreciated in my book too and this one is so damn darkly atmospheric and just a cool journey - Weir's work is especially interesting to me here all the way to the end. While not '84 check out 4/6/82 for a quick but FIERCE O1. that does not overstay it's welcome but gets to the point for the bash.

Massive and worthy of many more votes - check it and you will see.
