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.

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

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.

Valentine's Day '88 - very fitting for them to close with Lovelight. They played Lovelight at every Valentines show. Great band interplay

Solid version despite a vocal mishap from Jerry
Not Fade Away

Madison Square Garden

Real party vibes to this show - the boys were just having a great time, and it must've been even more fun in person

Universal Amphitheatre

Fiery outro into the O1. Solid vocals as well
The Other One
June 29, 1973
Universal Amphitheatre

Even with the tape flip around 10:55 this might be one of my favorite Other One's ever. The Phil Jam early on and the slipknot-ish jam closing out this O1 are just so awesome. Cannot recommend this highly enough and as a magnificent bonus this goes into a fantastic Morning Dew

Strong Bobby show - Great Greatest Story
