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

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 $$$$

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

I really urge people to spin this one. Such a creative jam out of NFA. Brimming w creativity. My favorite version for sure

Dirty version, solid stuff

Glad to hear Cuse! Jort army standard issue uniform includes: pink tank top (can be supplemented with the occasional Madonna T shirt), 80's reflective sun glasses, tube socks, and of course, pre-cut, frayed 8 inch regulation denim jorts. Damn bobby's steeze got weird... Guy is the man though, so I applaud him just being himself. Easily the unsung hero of the band and the guy that gets the most shit (besides donna, of course)

Dug it, thanks a lot! The way you feel about this version is the way i feel about 5-9-79. Literally the best bobby/jerry interplay i have ever heard, featured in the end jam. I implore people to listen - you will not be disappointed. Again though, this version is really sweet. Sorry for the highjack!
