Unusual, long Space for the era. Fans of Feedback will enjoy this one.

Carnival of sounds and textures. Wild stuff.

Pummeling version with Phil cranked UP in the mix.

The whole band creates a seamless, burbling groove. (Listen for Phil pushing through the small spaces Bobby leaves.) Mesmerizing.

Kiel Auditorium

The short, country-style numbers sound so good in this set. There's a lot of good music in this show even before the big jams arrive.

*Serious* firepower, vocally as well as instrumentally. Check this out, folks.
Let It Grow

Paramount Theatre

Very exploratory in parts! I can’t think of many late-’70s versions that are this adventurous.
Estimated Prophet

Civic Center

Even by the standards of ’79, this is a *great* Estimated. Enjoy.
Sugar Magnolia
July 24, 1987
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

Sugar Mag seemingly was a good fit for the band’s strengths in ’87. It really shines in crisp renditions like this one.
