I Need A Miracle
July 20, 1994
Deer Creek Music Center

6 tracks pre-drums, a set chock full of patient, far-reaching playing. This is a perfect party time palate cleanser, searing.

A version that earns the submission. Inspired and filled out. Night prior is hot and the Deer Creek magic reigns.

Excellent generously stately and tumultuous intro. Laid back. Nice melt to black peter.

this is a golden stretch in terms of style and form for GD. Deep and thickly bright sprinting jam

https://youtu.be/c0LeYB0IAHw Jerry's second solo on this one.... one of my favs, the sheer passion and fierce emotion exhibited by all for the blues in this version is deeply moving experience, makes me grateful to experience that GD magic
Playin' In The Band

Philadelphia Civic Center

i've been really sleeping on this one... intricate and refined from the first seconds of liftoff... rhodes rhodes rhodes. WOLF and bill kreutzmann made this tune his bitch in the early 70's his project for expansion. This is the rainy sushi and sake buffet to the michelin coursed meals of those DS's.
Uncle John's Band

Fantastic lightning bolt years version, explores with smirking authority and continues Playin!
