Here's where the bus came by for me. My first show...every note is burned into my brain!

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 16, 1991
Giants Stadium

Sick extended jaminess reminds us how much of a kick in the ass Hornsby gave Jerry

Desolation Row

Kaiser Convention Center

Bob really belts it out on this relatively early version. WAS THAT SOME KINDA JOKE?!? Awesome...Zimmy would be proud.

Sugaree

Mature Sugaree from an underrated NYE show. Jerry's voice is so expressive and Brent finally has his part dialed on the B3.

Eyes Of The World
Sept. 7, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

Wow! This is a blisteringly hot Eyes. Not even that jazzy...just relentless and rippin'! It's like they channeled 1977 for a sec. Keith on electric keys, Phil jam, and Jer shreds...what more do you need? Perhaps second only to 6/18/74, imo
Eyes Of The World
May 17, 1974
P.N.E. Coliseum

Love Keith's work on the Fender Rhodes here...just the jazzy touch Eyes calls for. (edit) Wow. The official release of this from the PNW '73-'74 box set sounds AMAZING. This one should be ranked higher. Period.
Looks Like Rain
Dec. 1, 1979
Stanley Theater

Awesome rolling thunder effects by the drummers lead this one off
Turn On Your Love Light
Dec. 28, 1969
International Speedway

This one should be much higher...just saturated with that certain energy and it's own kind of ramshackle perfection
Alligator
Nov. 10, 1967
Shrine Auditorium

WOW. Drippy lysergic weirdness...
