"It's a little tune in honor of this building" - rockin' Samson set opener

Berkeley Community Theatre

Sweet show opener where the *whole* band is on - even as an AUD only you can clearly hear the entire band

Spanish Jam
April 17, 1982
Hartford Civic Center

A rare Spanish Jam without Jerry, but Bobby, Brent, and Phil make it sweet nonetheless

Superb transition from space into this classic Traffic cover - nailed just right on all levels

Short but blazing - a personal favorite. Brent's Hammond truly makes this shine. He's Gone>O1 is just such an awesome combo

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Dec. 30, 1989
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

Come for the China Cat, stay for the Rider. Jerry steals your face while screaming "On a Northbound Train"
Terrapin Station

Nice, standard 90's jam after the main song is over, Phil really leads the way here
Eyes Of The World
May 7, 1977
Boston Garden

Classic version, have to love these "disco" Eyes. Glad to see it get released on vinyl later this year
Truckin'

Subdued near Spanish jam at the end thanks to Jerry! First truly inspired playing in the second set, very cool lead into Terrapin. Excellent
Eyes Of The World

Cal Expo

Nothing to write home about - decent Eyes>Man Smart. The use of Jerry's MIDI during the jam of Eyes doesn't add anything for me personally
