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.

Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again

Deer Creek Music Center

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.

tight bucket yields this hoarse , ever so blue hot, blistering version!! Heavy late night express jerry soul rocker, big man sends it, gnarly version.

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

Comes A Time
Dec. 5, 1971
Felt Forum - Madison Square Garden

Luscious, poignant, repressed frantic bawlings, flirts with transcendence of later versions.

Speedy, crowd goes nuts, band is showing them the ways encouragingly, but firmly, with muscle

slick as snot, full of Sagitarrian drop of a dime fun and spontaneity guided by flaming arrows. Keeping it cowboy every time but yeah octopus vision. Festering selves piling up in the mailbox. Glorious power in this blown out on-the-spot approach.

amazing chall!!! long drums melt (think steel pan and clangy ding dongies) No stone unturned, awesome stuff here encyclopedically rich. Stole my face. Cherries on top with west L.A. jam and a patient razor sharp gdtrfb

reunited with this dreamy cold war thawer... holy shit... takes LIG, still so many good versions of this, to newer heights still. 3.0 meets "a love supreme"? but then my the scrumptious chilly cliffs that the drummers provide channeljng the great rhythm sections of soul and funk. and jerry's recurring flutterbird tremolo "Demeter visitation" wolf tone which sets this one into, again to use one of my fav tropes of hot dead, symphonic timings
