Bruce's accordion really makes this one shine, and I'm not even a fan of it. Make of it what you will. + Phil bombs galore

Touch of Grey

Truckin'
Dec. 30, 1983

On the heels of a sweet MLB jam - Bobby blows some lyrics but the playing is where it's at - dissolves into a nice Wharf Rat

The Omni

Maybe it's just me but the keyboards give it a bit of a Calypso vibe
Samson and Delilah
Dec. 27, 1981
Oakland Auditorium

"It being Sunday we're gonna start out with a spiritual number" - Bobby at the start. Indeed
Samson and Delilah
July 22, 1990
World Music Theater

The execution on the Organ is insane - R.I.P. Brent
