Zenith

Bruce's accordion really makes this one shine, and I'm not even a fan of it. Make of it what you will. + Phil bombs galore

Smokestack Lightnin'
July 30, 1988
Laguna Seca Recreation Area

Rare standalone Smokestack reeling out of Space, sweet playing to boot

Touch of Grey

Silva Hall

Solid 1st set closing Touch - Brent's keys add to the shine

Truckin'
Dec. 30, 1983
Civic Auditorium

On the heels of a sweet MLB jam - Bobby blows some lyrics but the playing is where it's at - dissolves into a nice Wharf Rat

Henry J Kaiser Convention Center

Rare late era post-Space He's Gone - Phil bombs abound on this one

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
