Is there such a thing as a mellow Watchtower? This might be it. Goes into a great Dew

Dupree's Diamond Blues

Silva Hall - Hult Center for the Performing Arts

One of those heady, gritty early 80's Duprees. Also Jerry nails the lyrics! No fumbles at all, astonishing really

Lovely show opener, mix is a bit wonky at first but Phil is all over it. Great show all in all!

Peppy Iko to start the night off - good show overlooked by the rest of the run

They take their time for the intro. Right out of space into this Spencer Davis cover. Brent is the MAN!!! Phil in top form too of course :)

Samson and Delilah

Campus Stadium - University Of California

Bobby decimated the vocals on this one, hot hot hot
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Sept. 18, 1990
Madison Square Garden

The band crushes this one, Jerry kills vocally. A wonderful farewell tribute to Brent. To Lay Me Down>Promised Land is not to be missed either
St. Stephen
June 26, 1976
Auditorium Theatre

The outro jam into the wheel might be one of the best of the '76 Stephen's. Nice minute long Stephen tease in Playin' right beforehand too
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
June 3, 1976
Paramount Theatre

Magnificent H>S>F. It flows in the groovy '76 way, hits just right. The band is locked in, cannot get any better than this, alongside the fantastic board quality
Estimated Prophet
Dec. 30, 1989
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

Great Estimated, nice Jerry jam last three or so minutes
