Starts off touch and go as usual and then tightens up nicely.

Black Muddy River
May 10, 1987
Laguna Seca Raceway

You beat me to it! This is one of my favorites - the right tempo - Jers husky vocal and guitar tone all add up to a soulful ode. This was a hinky weekend that was set up to launch into outer space and they never quite got there (although we did hahaha) ... there was a pond/lake behind the stage too that made this one fitting....

Harding Theatre

This is top notch always assumed it was way up the list and then saw your comment. I agree this combo cranked and I would guess that the NFA's that bookend this are high up on the list. Bobby's wailing in the reprise alone have to make it top 3 IMO.

How is this not higher?!? The feelin groovy jam is SUBLIME - respect everyone's personal preferences but really how are people missing this one?? Only 4 freakin stars - dang....I'd give that just for Bobby's backing vocals on IKYR! Sheesh!
