Giants Stadium

Not Perfect, but very high energy. Everyone seems to be trying take it higher and higher. Bobby even gets off a couple David Lee Roth-type screams...

Dark Star

Oklahoma City Fairgrounds Arena

A clean, focused, jazzy, and sweet Dark Star into a gorgeously breath-taking Mind Left Body Jam. "Beyond words" sums it up best.

Edgy and exploratory, on so many levels. K.Tobin matrix is absolutely sick! Wall of Sound reincarnated! Billy in the zone! Bob flubs lyrics, no matter

Playin' In The Band

Alexandra Palace

The expanded articulation and nuanced interplay are gorgeous. The flow of the jam never really slows down or runs out of ideas. This Playin' is a marathon of jazzy jamming brilliance. One of the best of the '74, maybe one of the best all-time...

Oklahoma City Music Hall

This is a balls out powerhouse performance that turns the amps up to 11, but never loses it's focus. Billy is driving this jam, but Phil and Jerry really keep the fire burning. A 1/2 hour of next level. An absolute Hall of Fame PITB!

Catches the High Time vibe just right, just what I needed right now...
