Foxboro Stadium

Powerful stadium-sized blast of Dylan. This one just clicks along almost perfectly. Brent's B3 solo just rips...

Great LL Rain from my first show. Some "thunder" audio weirdness (Healy?) makes this one unique. Nice raindrop notes fom Jerry at the climax, too.

Nicely stretched out, mellow version from Summer '80. This one has some righteous peaks and I love Brent's B3 sound here.

Death Don't Have No Mercy

Fillmore West

This is the one. Jerry shows what he learned from Janis vocally on this one. Just dripping with emotion.

This is just a monster version. The boys are finally clickin' on all cylinders on this scorching afternoon. Every member really shines.

Turn On Your Love Light
May 24, 1969
Seminole Indian Village

This might seriously be the one, you guys. 29 minute opener to go with the 30 minute Lovelight they closed with the night before! Pig is in top form, and the boys are right with him. Plus that unexplainable 1969 energy and SOUND...Complete Road Trips indeed! This should be ranked "jus' a lil' bit HIGHER!!!"

Field House - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

Wow! That was...muscular. Phil and Jer doin' some FLEXIN'!!! The Roger Eichorn matrix on the archive is the tits.
Viola Lee Blues

Fillmore West

This one closes out the weekend @ Fillmore West with the Miles Davis Quintet opening. What I wouldn't give to have been there. Fully jammed out version.
