Uncle John's Band

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.

Sugar Magnolia

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
Aug. 21, 1983
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.

Turn On Your Love Light

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

Wharf Rat
Oct. 16, 1974
Winterland Arena

Very jazzy Wharf Rat, possibly best of '74?
Wharf Rat
March 23, 1974
Cow Palace

Best wharf intro? At least of '73-'74 period?
Foolish Heart
Aug. 13, 1991
Cal Expo

Arguably one of the most solid versions of Foolish on every level imaginable
Dear Mr. Fantasy
July 6, 1984
Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Interesting to note that Jerry sings the first few lyrics without Brent - not sure how many times this has happened
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
March 28, 1985
Nassau Coliseum

The jam in between is to die for - might be my favorite S>F from the mid 80's. + Bobby is just killing it. The SBD mix is perfect
