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

Aiko Aiko
June 11, 1991
Charlotte Coliseum

Vince and Bruce dueling on this Iko is one of the best glimmers of a sparkling summer tour
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
March 24, 1986
The Spectrum

Clearly a comment on Jerry's health at this point - probably the reason why the only Post Space song was a killer Dew :/
Stella Blue
Sept. 6, 1979
Madison Square Garden

Nice Mind Left Body Jam to start off this Stella - serene like the ocean waves :)
Uncle John's Band
Sept. 9, 1982
Saenger Performing Arts Center

At first I liked it just for the novelty, but honestly it might just be one of the most pleasant UJB's I've heard from this era
Shakedown Street
Sept. 22, 1991
Boston Garden

Arguably best Shakedown of '91, at the very least tied with 6/22. Bruce's playing throughout makes it sparkle
