Best first listen: July 4, 1989 · Rich Stadium · Buffalo, NY, US
The Independence Day Rich Stadium show was released as Truckin' Up to Buffalo and pairs a Bertha > Greatest Story opener with a second set that moves from Touch Of Grey > Man Smart (Woman Smarter) into Ship Of Fools > Playing In The Band Reprise > Terrapin Station. After Drums/Space, I Will Take You Home leads into All Along The Watchtower > Morning Dew > Not Fade Away and a U.S. Blues encore.
Another strong choice: October 12, 1984 · Augusta Civic Center · Augusta, ME, US
Augusta is a jagged and interesting 1984 show with an unusually Brent-forward second set. The jam section is more about atmosphere and transitions than speed, and the UJB-to-Dew landing gives it real character.
Another strong choice: November 2, 1984 · Berkeley Community Theater · Berkeley, CA, US
First catalog performance: October 12, 1984 · Augusta Civic Center · Augusta, ME, US
