Jack Straw

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

Feelin' Groovy Jam

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 $$$$

Fox Theatre

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

Broome County Arena

I will again implore the necessity of spinning this version. The Bobby/Jerry interplay at the end is some of the best, most unique I have heard. Leads into a top version, huge early peak Truckin'. Hard to get any better than this pairing
Playin' In The Band

Nassau Coliseum

Wow, truly incredible. Multiple supremely creative jam segments. Loved this version, thanks!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Magnificent version, absolutely stunning. Just scooped the whole show based on this post. Excellent pick!

This is supposed to be 7-4-89. Something got supremely F'ed up...
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
March 21, 1991
Capital Centre

Pretty sweet version - FOTM bleeds nicely into a Stir it Up Jam
