A solid workout with a well-rendered buildup and a yelping SSDD

Much appreciated, as there soon comes a time when its more sporadic in the repertoire

University of Iowa

Amazed at how these early versions are so well established, moving along confidently yet dreamily; then some unique post-lyric explorations.

Pickled.
Estimated Prophet

Campus Stadium - University Of California

Came to write how this jam wrecked a few guardrails at the exit ramp with its abrupt high-speed departure... then saw the above comment. Analogous analogies. Nobody got hurt, but this version deserves more votes.

July 9, 1989
Giants Stadium

Yup, we hope the fun is pursued and explored by some or all of them, as these adventures in other shows at this point lead to unique jams rather than taking the collective kneel. Get in the groove... see for example Saint 11/2/79
