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

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

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

Promised Land
July 27, 1974
Civic Center

Killer Promised Land
Eyes Of The World
Dec. 7, 1979
Indiana Convention Center

The transition from the faster paced dynamic Eyes of the late 70's to the coke-fueled rocket speed version often seen throughout the 80's is a journey in and of itself ... great Eyes here though
Dancin' in the Streets
Nov. 30, 1979
Stanley Theater

Amazing jam around 10-11:30 min in - everyone contributes really amazing
The Other One
Nov. 1, 1977
Cobo Arena

Estimated>O1 is so amazing everytime the combo was played it was done with class (i.e. 5/9/77)
Samson and Delilah
July 3, 1994
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Jerry's awake! A very good version this late in Jerry's life quite frankly + the whole band is just on point
