Fox Theatre

Two huge swells in this one. The first is a very funk jam led by Keith and Billy. The next involves a manic peak by Jerry. Worth checking out

Long Beach Arena

This jam is a patient wave of energy that hits a progressive peak, then dissipates as cautiously as it grew

Long Beach Arena

Jam starts fairly mellow, then Jerry vaults it into noodley hyperspace

Jerry calls for Keith to solo and he owns it. Great vocals by Jerry and Pig kills on backing organ

Good Lovin'

Catholic Youth Center

Phil creates a DEEP pocket pre-Pig rap and he, Jerry, and Bobby emerge as a three-headed monster of groove. Post-rap, Jerry takes over on driving the jam with a hypnotic pattern the rest of the band latches onto. Great jam!

This show is such a treat. Jam has tight staccato style like the clicking of a dial. Chunky goodness
Playin' In The Band

Frost Amphitheatre

Not a long version by any stretch, but they accomplish a ton in this ~8 min span to kick off a great set and lay down some sweet, interconnected jamming

Dusted this show off for the first time in ages and loved the respin. This Playin' > Crazy > Sailor > Saint sequence is melodic butter, with version of CF as the highlight. Such a bute
Dire Wolf

McArthur Court, U of Oregon

This is my favorite of all the wolves. So crisp and vibrant. This song serves its role as a first set vibe booster in the best possible way. This version is a “glue guy” performance reason why this is an all-time show
