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

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

Money version, they execute the pair with deadly precision
Hard to Handle

Spun again after a very long time. Jam just never loses it's luster. Full blown hose in every sense of the word. Perfection
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
May 22, 1977
The Sportatorium

Haven't listened to this in a while. I usually consider Franklin's to be an afterthought, but this one has some nice gusto. Nice version!
Sugar Magnolia

Roosevelt Stadium

Dap, this one cooks!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 26, 1974
