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
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

Shakedown Street
Dec. 6, 1989
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Excellent Shakedown - Brent quickly plays the Hammond for a unique start
Tennessee Jed
Feb. 24, 1973
University of Iowa

Blazing hot Jed, must be heard at least once. Even this fragment of a show is amazing
Crazy Fingers
April 7, 1991
Orlando Arena

Real heady jam heading out of Crazy Fingers and into Playin'
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Oct. 2, 1972
Springfield Civic Center

So so underrated. Just an excellent early Half-Step with great playing that leads into another Wake of the Flood classic, Stella Blue
Greatest Story Ever Told
June 30, 1974
Civic Center

Really out there and spacey. Wonderful work from Jerry. Here and there at the same time - a Schrödinger's GSET.
