Warfield Theater

Hot outro resolves into a brief contemplative space before yielding to Drums.

Nassau Coliseum

Sparkling, energetic version. The first set of the Nassau run is a great one!

Its All Over Now

Winterland Arena

Grooves smartly with excellent contributions from each member. The whole first set is hot and worth a listen.

Jerry and Donna sound great in this uptempo version. Jerry's solo smokes too, of course.

Sweet bluesy outro jam. Spring ’78 was very good to poor Peter.

Throwing Stones

Meadowlands Arena

Agreed. This has that wonderful kaleidoscopic sound typical of the era. A wholly satisfying performance of a tune in the core repertoire that could’ve ended up on Without a Net.
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
March 20, 1992
Copps Coliseum

Not bad overall. Jerry's not doing anything terribly interesting, so I can't upvote, but this is a great example of Bruce doing everything he can to ratchet up the excitement -- the sort of stuff that would have spurred Jerry on a year or even a few months earlier.

I’m a sucker for unusual keyboard sounds and patches, and here Brent/Bralove dials up a vibraphone that sounds way cool. While I was understandably distracted by that feature, the rest of the performance seemed good as well.
Playin' In The Band

Deer Creek Music Center

While it does not start out promisingly, this PITB quickly pushes into a feedback-laced meltdown, and certainly not a tossed-off one. If you like that sort of thing (and I do!), you'll want to hear this version.
Caution

Avalon Ballroom

Absolute delirium at points.
