Bruce's accordion really makes this one shine, and I'm not even a fan of it. Make of it what you will. + Phil bombs galore

Truckin'
Dec. 30, 1983
Civic Auditorium

On the heels of a sweet MLB jam - Bobby blows some lyrics but the playing is where it's at - dissolves into a nice Wharf Rat

Shoreline Amphitheatre

This one deserves more love. Everyone in the band is all over this one. Really love Bobby and Bruce's accents and licks to the song especially
Samson and Delilah

Community War Memorial Auditorium

Jerry has traded his soul to the devil in order to play this scorcher of a Samson.
Samson and Delilah
Oct. 8, 1984
The Centrum

Very unique intro jam as they come out of Terrapin, takes them over a minute just to reach the pre-verse climax at the start
He's Gone
Sept. 28, 1972
Stanley Theatre

Ohhh man :) so groovy
Shakedown Street
Sept. 12, 1981
Greek Theater

This one has all the spunk and funk you want - '81 is a great year for Shakedown. Everybody is nice and clear on the AUD
