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

Truckin'

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

Promised Land

Civic Center

Killer Promised Land
Eyes Of The World
Dec. 7, 1979
Indiana Convention Center

The transition from the faster paced dynamic Eyes of the late 70's to the coke-fueled rocket speed version often seen throughout the 80's is a journey in and of itself ... great Eyes here though
Dancin' in the Streets
Nov. 30, 1979
Stanley Theater

Amazing jam around 10-11:30 min in - everyone contributes really amazing
The Other One
Nov. 1, 1977
Cobo Arena

Estimated>O1 is so amazing everytime the combo was played it was done with class (i.e. 5/9/77)
Samson and Delilah
July 3, 1994
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Jerry's awake! A very good version this late in Jerry's life quite frankly + the whole band is just on point
