U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
June 30, 1974
Civic Center

Powerful U.S. Blues that veers into a solid Truckin'. Seamless transition between the two

Dire Wolf
Sept. 16, 1987
Madison Square Garden

Sublime Dire Wolf - Jerry kills it with perfect vocals and excellent playing. Best of '87 if not the entire post-coma era

Sugar Magnolia
Sept. 17, 1973
Onondaga County War Memorial

Not the most remarkable Sugar Mag BUT it has horns + Jerry sings the first verse

Drums
May 18, 1977
Fox Theatre

Really fun Drums out of Eyes that leads into one of the most fiery Other One's of the year ('76-'77 O1's are quite mellow). Do not skip at all costs

Aiko Aiko
June 14, 1984
Red Rocks Amphitheater

Rockin' show opener with the band in full form. Everyone can be heard nicely in the Soundboard mix

Playin' In The Band
June 23, 1990
Autzen Stadium

Came to add how masterful the Reprise after UJB is, really excellent stuff
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
May 9, 1979
Broome County Arena

First Brent Era China Rider, starts off on a high. Audience is really into it
Shakedown Street
May 12, 1979
Alumni Stadium, University of Massachusetts

Really solid version, with good AUD's out there. Long and funky
Samson and Delilah
May 12, 1979
Alumni Stadium, University of Massachusetts

Just to add more, probably one of the finest Samson's of '79. Band is completely gelled together by the second set, complete fire with this one. Band sounds really great on the Glassberg AUD
Samson and Delilah
May 12, 1979
Alumni Stadium, University of Massachusetts
