Feelin' Groovy Jam
June 8, 1974
Coliseum Stadium

Underrated China>Rider featuring this magnificent Feelin' Groovy jam - you think it's gonna end but they just rip it for another climax. What a treat!

Meadowlands Arena

Starts off choppy with Jerry forgetting lyrics but by "Throw me in the jailhouse" the band is in fine form

Campus Stadium - University Of California

Strong post-hiatus version - Phil thundering away on this one. Love how Jerry belches out "BOYS sing 'round the fire"

Playin' In The Band
June 23, 1990
Autzen Stadium

Came to add how masterful the Reprise after UJB is, really excellent stuff
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
May 9, 1979
Broome County Arena

First Brent Era China Rider, starts off on a high. Audience is really into it
Shakedown Street
May 12, 1979
Alumni Stadium, University of Massachusetts

Really solid version, with good AUD's out there. Long and funky
Samson and Delilah
May 12, 1979
Alumni Stadium, University of Massachusetts

Just to add more, probably one of the finest Samson's of '79. Band is completely gelled together by the second set, complete fire with this one. Band sounds really great on the Glassberg AUD
