Uncle John's Band
March 27, 1985
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

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
