Pure Donna vocals, and raging Garcia solo before the last verse. Donna sounds great throughout this entire show—it's a real smoker.

NOT just another '77 version. BIG bridge solo, pure Jerry/Donna backing vocals, scary Mutron solo into Eyes. One of the best.

NOT just another '77 version. Insanely-tight jamming, 2nd set opener, KEITH, JERRY, PHIL! Best version I've heard.

P.N.E. Coliseum

Easily the best '74 version. Keith plays beautiful Rhodes piano, Phil tears it up, and the vocals are pure.

Out of Half-Step opener of the last show of Brent's first tour with the band. Love his early '79 keys sound.

High Time
Dec. 28, 1979
Oakland Auditorium

There were lots of good Road Trips releases, but this whole show, released as Vol. 3 No. 1, always stood out to me as one of the best. As for the "High Time," it's pretty sweet, but there are much more powerful versions out there, in my humble opinion.

I love the fast lead runs here. Jer would occasionally break these out post-Egypt '78. Flawless execution, and Brent on Hammond organ instead of the toy piano (don't get me wrong, I love the toy piano/Reading-Rainbow-keys sound). It's worth noting that this is from the Dick's Picks 8 show. Despite Latvala's distaste for anything post '73-'74, he dropped this one in the series early. The whole concert is on fire.

What a beaut. Jerry really shows off his singing talent here.

Glad to see this post is getting some attention. Again, listeners need only tune into Brent on the Moog to have their minds blown. Not to mention that Jer work.

Love Bobby's solo section (starts about 11 mins in).
