Long haul jam here. Great tone, Jerry's got it totally busted with overdrive, and Bob is clean as a whistle. Excellent transition into Wharf Rat

Could have been an all-timer with a synchronistic crowd leading the claps, but they’re waaaay fast on tempo. Band sloppily tried to match.

Crowd is nice and rowdy tonight. Wonder how tickets were dolled for this run. Sounds like 250 instead of 2,500 in there.

Such a beautiful clean tone on Jerry's Tiger here. I wonder how it sounded in the room, boy does it ever shine on tape.

The Other One
Dec. 26, 1979
Oakland Auditorium

Jerry seemed to be having trouble with lyrics all night, so I think they were leaning into extended solos and jams, and they really went off the deep end in here.

Real competitive vibe on this. Jerry thought he took the bag with his first solo...only to be matched by Bobby's growl...Brent's squeaky clean rip, AND Mickey designing some new beats on the fly. On the tape you can hear a bit of a conversation at the end...can't make it out but I'm sure it's Jerry saying Holy Shit
They Love Each Other
Feb. 22, 1974
Winterland Arena

First show of '74 after the best shows of their career in late '73. The rust of a few weeks off was evident early on...with everyone struggling to find their footing and butting heads a bit. When they kick this off, you can hear Billy really dig into the Hi-Hat and pick up the pace a notch or two. The rest of the boys seem to rally behind the beat and wake up a bit. The rest of the show is on fire, and this is really the turning point.

I honestly tend to skip the Sugar Mag encores for a lot of shows...but damn I'm glad I stuck it out tonight. absolutely nasty solo from Jer Bear.
Here Comes Sunshine
Dec. 6, 1973
Public Hall

The recently released 'Here Comes Sunshine' box set highlighting Spring '73 brings this underrated tune into the spotlight...but it was a little sloppy until the Fall/Winter, and on this night they really executed perfection.
