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

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

Rare late era post-Space He's Gone - Phil bombs abound on this one

Wharf Rat
June 28, 1991
Mile High Stadium

When this show inevitably gets released this will finally get the love and attention it deserves. For now, rest easy my child with only 5 votes
The Other One

The Spectrum

Underrated as hell. The whole sequence of He's Gone>Truckin'>O1>Wharf>Row Jimmy deserves to be heard in its entirety
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
March 21, 1991
Capital Centre

Extremely solid show opener - vocals and playing are on point
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 16, 1973

It should be criminal to open a show with this much funtastic energy
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 21, 1981
Rainbow Theatre

Exquisite jam in between leading up to Rider - March of '81 has some great China>IKYR's
