Spartan Stadium - San Jose State University

Brent's 1st song with the band. Multiple Lesh bombs, rollicking drums, smoking Jerry licks, and impassioned vocals. Fine welcome to the band!

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

This is a lightening fast bowl of nose clams, played 100x the speed of hyperspace. Worth it just to hear how fast the boys ventured to take this on

Not the longest, by any stretch, but incredibly airy and beautiful for Bobby's B-day. Worth a listen for sure

Super interesting jam out of a surprising Truckin' > NFBM jam > Drums > Feeling Groovy jam. The first few min of keys/drum/bass after drums is $$$$

Seriously high octane. A very subtle St Stephen lick by Jerry in the closing jam

Very sweet version. Boys hit a nice sweet spot in this jam. '91 was a decent year for this tune.

Hofheinz Pavilion

Holy hellfire! This version defies words. Listened to this 3 times today to make up for not having heard it before. I love how the machine gun jamming finally calms down, then on the drop of a dime Billy kicks back in and the boys are instantly in high gear again. Priceless!
