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.

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.

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

Feel Like A Stranger
April 4, 1991
The Omni

LTGTR>Stranger Opener, classic. If you're not a fan of the Vince sound this might be a little off but its HOT regardless
Loose Lucy

Coliseum Arena

Strong West Coast (best coast) Loose Lucy. Really builds up till the end, wonderful version
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 24, 1991
Sandstone Amphitheatre

Phil leads the band. Everyone contributes which can be a bit overwhelming but a nice straightforward China>Rider nonetheless
