Bird Song
The Debut of Wolf! Here him howl!
5
Deal
This version cooks. Jerry's solos are wonderful and Keith really shines in this take
56
Eyes Of The World
Intense Truckin' -> Drums -> The Other One Jam -> Eyes Of The World -> Sugar Magnolia sandwich. Give it a whirl!
5
Row Jimmy
Drags at first, but Jer's soloing builds beautifully on his new Wolf. Historical if only for that but also a passionate, sweet version.
29
Here Comes Sunshine
Really smooth and mellow groove 2nd set opener from a solid show after a month in the studio. Hard to see why not here yet.
24
Playin' In The Band
Intense jaming and crystal clear guitar work, plus Billy's hard driving makes it a barn-burner. Gets better each listen.
19
Let It Grow
First-ever performance. Mid-way they let it grow into experimental bliss. A must-have for LIG fans.
10
Truckin'
Top form from a great 2nd set then into a ballsy TOO jam (no lyrics) and then one of the best Eyes of all time.
9
Sugar Magnolia
Yeah, Sugar Mag okay... but the Sunshine Daydream is tops. Just kills me each time I hear it.
6
Looks Like Rain
Excellent version
4
Jack Straw
Rockin'!! Some great harmonies by the whole band and some awesome energy.
12
Stella Blue
My favorite version. The end solo defines Garcia's signature sound to me.
9
The Other One
The other one jam with a nice thunderous phil bomb enterance and some real nice full band ripping with Jerry just shoothing off notes while Billy K !
2
Loser
Smooth
3
Me and My Uncle
Is it just me? I feel like this is a really good one
2
Around and Around
Just listen to the Wolf--funky, dirty, sort of countrified--a unique and powerful version
1
Drums
Very technically sound — almost like he’s doing a rudiment exercise for much of it, which is fine by me!
4
Sugaree
Smooth
4
They Love Each Other
Not a bad version the whole year. This one grooves.
1
El Paso
The band is on
