Nassau Coliseum

Nice jammy Uncle John's sandwiched between Shakedown and Playin. I prefer the Eaton AUD over the SBD as of 2/13/23.

Uptown Theater

Really great, lovely extended intro thx to Jerry. Everyone is on point and is a nice transition from the beautiful Comes a Time that preceeded it

Dire Wolf

Frost Amphitheater

Despite the lack of vocals at the very beginning this is a great laid back Dire Wolf. The Frost is a nice place to space your face (~):)

The Omni

Phil's singing is really solid on this one, band doesn't stumble over each other.

Henry J. Kaiser Auditorium

Valentine's Day '88 - very fitting for them to close with Lovelight. They played Lovelight at every Valentines show. Great band interplay

Spacey Fried Goodness!
Samson and Delilah
Feb. 4, 1978
Milwaukee Auditorium

Awesome Samson, gets somehow even more smokin' after the 5 min mark
Playin' In The Band
May 26, 1972
Strand Lyceum

Weaving in and out of the Playin'/Main Ten theme throughout this one. Might be mistaken but this is the longest/one of the longer Playin's on the E72 tour
Dark Star

Tivolis Koncertsal

Lovely, dynamic and engaging DS. Big fan of when you can hear everyone clearly and how they each drive the jams.

Gaelic Park

When people talk about "Phil-led" shows and songs, this is what they mean. Excellent Other One
