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.

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

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Indianapolis State Fair Coliseum

KEITH! <3 really nice and mellow Rider after the Feelin' Groovy Jam transition
Dark Star
Dec. 12, 1990
McNichols Arena

Nice late era dark star - cool feedback moment during the transition into Terrapin.
Feel Like A Stranger
Sept. 16, 1991
Madison Square Garden

Normally not a fan of Vince Era strangers but this one kills. The entire band is all over this one. Arguably one of the best first sets of the '90s.
Morning Dew
June 14, 1985
Greek Theater

Blistering to open the set. Jerry only sings ballads in the second set of this show, nicely done. SBD is great but Oade AUD is my go to. Jerry's rough vocals are nice on this one
Comes A Time
May 21, 1977
Lakeland Civic Center

Wow - amazing Comes a Time. Beautifully inspired jam into Stephen really sealed the deal, along with the amazing vocal harmonies Jerry and Donna pulled off. Bravo!
