"It's a little tune in honor of this building" - rockin' Samson set opener

Berkeley Community Theatre

Sweet show opener where the *whole* band is on - even as an AUD only you can clearly hear the entire band

Spanish Jam
April 17, 1982
Hartford Civic Center

A rare Spanish Jam without Jerry, but Bobby, Brent, and Phil make it sweet nonetheless

Superb transition from space into this classic Traffic cover - nailed just right on all levels

Short but blazing - a personal favorite. Brent's Hammond truly makes this shine. He's Gone>O1 is just such an awesome combo

The Music Never Stopped

Madison Square Garden

This one will knock your socks off - heady version and a nice mix!
West L.A. Fadeaway
Sept. 9, 1982
Saenger Performing Arts Center

Very nice early Fadeaway, the first highlight of this show for me so far. Very uneven energy in this first but this Fadeaway rocks!
Promised Land

Thompson Arena - Dartmouth College

Hello KEITH! The man is on fire!
Wang Dang Doodle
March 31, 1991
Greensboro Coliseum

Wow...totally overlooked. Literally the second vote smh. I know people have varied opinions on Jerry's MIDI experiments in the late 80's to 90's but the horn sound in the start just really gets me going here. The ultramatrix is UNBELIEVABLY good - one of the best recordings you can find. Band is in TOP shape despite the shaky start to Half-Step
Morning Dew

Rose Palace

"well WHAT THE FUCK" - Bobby "That's what happens when you play too loud" - Jerry, grinning ear to ear probably
