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.

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

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 (~):)

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

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"

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

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

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
