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
Oct. 16, 1981
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 $$$$

Fox Theatre

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

For real, the triumvirate is nailed perfectly here
Brother Esau

Agree solid version of a very hit or miss song. Nice find!
Eyes Of The World

Roosevelt Stadium

Yup, this version is a heater for sure
Dark Star
Oct. 26, 1989
Miami Arena

This one hurts my brain. Beyond weird. Not my favorite, but definitely significant. Hand with care
