MIDI Horn fest on Jerry's end + the Vince synths make this an interesting MSWM. Carrying over the tame energy from the Eyes beforehand. Solo Vince

Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again

Sandstone Amphitheatre

Excellent dueling keyboard version - Bruce on accordion and Vince on the synths. I love the Brent versions with the B3, but the keys fit well here

Stagger Lee

Shoreline Amphitheatre

Jerry repeats "Look out Stagger Lee" with quite a bit of fervor at the end, excellent version. Entire band is locked into high gear

C. C. Rider
Dec. 10, 1989
Meadowlands Arena

Spencer Davis, not Dryden. Alright C C Rider followed by the only rendition of I'm a Man. Now THAT kicks ass - should be a must hear. The ENTIRE band is on fire + Davis + Hornsby guest sit ins
Truckin'
Oct. 21, 1972
Vanderbilt University

You know that feeling of a guilty pleasure? I get it everytime I hear this Truckin'. Charlie Miller might call it a "horrible mix" but to me LESH IS MORE!!! (Okay to be honest though the mix is quite bad)
Morning Dew
March 23, 1992
The Palace

Last Dew of the Bruce era, not to be missed. As others have pointed out, they get a little extra spicy near the end. Jerry's vocals are great too, right on target
Doin' That Rag
April 23, 1969
The Ark

Jerry's really great on this one, classic Primal Dead
Shakedown Street
Oct. 31, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

Phil bombs galore - great mix to showcase the band interplay in the early Brent days
