U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
June 30, 1974
Civic Center

Powerful U.S. Blues that veers into a solid Truckin'. Seamless transition between the two
2
Dire Wolf
Sept. 16, 1987
Madison Square Garden

Sublime Dire Wolf - Jerry kills it with perfect vocals and excellent playing. Best of '87 if not the entire post-coma era
2
Sugar Magnolia
Sept. 17, 1973
Onondaga County War Memorial

Not the most remarkable Sugar Mag BUT it has horns + Jerry sings the first verse

Drums
May 18, 1977
Fox Theatre

Really fun Drums out of Eyes that leads into one of the most fiery Other One's of the year ('76-'77 O1's are quite mellow). Do not skip at all costs

Aiko Aiko
June 14, 1984
Red Rocks Amphitheater

Rockin' show opener with the band in full form. Everyone can be heard nicely in the Soundboard mix

Stella Blue
Aug. 18, 1989
Greek Theater

Not the most intense but solid execution and beautiful band interplay
Aiko Aiko
April 5, 1991
The Omni

Maybe it's just me but the keyboards give it a bit of a Calypso vibe
Samson and Delilah
Dec. 27, 1981
Oakland Auditorium

"It being Sunday we're gonna start out with a spiritual number" - Bobby at the start. Indeed
Samson and Delilah
July 22, 1990
World Music Theater

The execution on the Organ is insane - R.I.P. Brent
The Other One
Aug. 12, 1972
Sacramento Memorial Auditorium

Truly underrated - give it a spin and try telling me this ain't Heady
