Dire Wolf
March 29, 1991
Nassau Coliseum

First Dire Wolf of the Vince era - and the playing kills as always. Just a line is butchered but a great rendition of this campfire song regardless

Vince only - and he does quite a fine job. Jerry helps pack a punch as always

Very hot Samson coming out of Eyes. Check out the transition from Eyes into Samson, will not disappoint

Nice first set choice - Jerry flubs some lyrics but the playing is great. Note that this is a Vince only '91 show and he kills

Eyes Of The World
Sept. 21, 1974
Palais Des Sports

To add to the previous comment, the intro here is so unique and spacey its frankly amazing. An overlooked yet fantastic Eyes all in all Edit: Truly a dark Eyes - something lurking in its depths. Also one of the best vocally from this period IMO
Weather Report Suite
Sept. 20, 1974
Palais Des Sports

The Let it Grow is one of the best I've heard - *very* Keith + Phil centric
Smokestack Lightnin'
Aug. 17, 1991
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Arguably one of the best Smokestacks in regards to how the band plays off of each other, especially Vince and Bruce
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Dec. 8, 1973
Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke U

Absolutely tremendous; simultaneously tight af and laid back. Exemplary stuff
Shakedown Street
May 12, 1981
Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

May of '81 is a sacred month, rare second set LLR to boot
