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

Melkweg

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

Melkweg

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

Springfield Civic Center

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

The Spectrum

I was going from memory when I made the show opener comment and lord knows my memory is turrrrible... I am also a stickler for a tickler and will appropriately hang my head in shame. Version is solid as it gets though. Glad it's getting love!
Eyes Of The World

Roscoe Maples Pavilion - Stanford University

For some reason, I've held off on this show forever. Was pleasantly surprised by the entire show and this Eyes is premium ish. Good post!
