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

Smokestack Lightnin'
July 30, 1988
Laguna Seca Recreation Area

Rare standalone Smokestack reeling out of Space, sweet playing to boot

Silva Hall

Solid 1st set closing Touch - Brent's keys add to the shine

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

Loser
Sept. 9, 1972
Hollywood Palladium

Solid version despite a vocal mishap from Jerry
Not Fade Away
Sept. 18, 1988
Madison Square Garden

Real party vibes to this show - the boys were just having a great time, and it must've been even more fun in person
Truckin'
June 29, 1973
Universal Amphitheatre

Fiery outro into the O1. Solid vocals as well
The Other One
June 29, 1973
Universal Amphitheatre

Even with the tape flip around 10:55 this might be one of my favorite Other One's ever. The Phil Jam early on and the slipknot-ish jam closing out this O1 are just so awesome. Cannot recommend this highly enough and as a magnificent bonus this goes into a fantastic Morning Dew
Greatest Story Ever Told
Oct. 11, 1989
Meadowlands Arena

Strong Bobby show - Great Greatest Story
