Don't Ease Me In
Oct. 29, 1973
Kiel Auditorium

Strong country kicker. Wolf's leads peal out over Keith's barrelhouse piano accompaniment.

Madison Square Garden

Aka Lunatic Preserve. A hair-raising, spontaneous meltdown bridging SOTM and Miracle.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Aug. 5, 1971
Hollywood Palladium

Very substantial jam develops out of the AWBYGN passage before the return to NFA.

Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
Dec. 28, 1980
Oakland Auditorium

Very tight performance that’s still packed with holiday run excitement. The Miller/Clugston board sounds great for the era, too.

Throwing Stones

Warfield Theater

Jerry repeats an interesting pattern during the main jam section that Brent picks up on later (using the marimba patch!).

Shakedown Street
April 11, 1989
Rosemont Horizon

As if hypnotized by the groove, the band brings the jam down to a quiet plane before ratcheting up for the conclusion.
Samson and Delilah
Sept. 22, 1991
Boston Garden

I really like the dual keyboard action in this one. While Bruce is pure Old Dominion roll, Vince rocks, sounding agreeably like Garth Hudson. Good showcase for the era.
Estimated Prophet

World Music Theater

The midsong jam in G didn’t do much for me, but the outro is the best kind of midified chaos.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Sept. 4, 1980
Providence Civic Center

Whoa.
The Other One
Sept. 4, 1980
Providence Civic Center

This is a worthy version. Very primal-sounding at points.
