Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
April 1, 1984
Marin County Veterans Auditorium

Steps out unexpectedly from an almost-aborted Miracle. Tight and right jamming.

Mexicali Blues

Marin County Veterans Auditorium

Jerry's restatements of the melody throughout his solos are brilliant uptempo marvels.

Playin' In The Band
June 14, 1976
Beacon Theatre

Beautiful, comprehensive statement of where Playin' was at in the beginning of the post-hiatus '76 sound. 20 minutes of love.

Might As Well

Beacon Theatre

Lotsa fun rocker with the louche touch becoming of the song. Did Donna ever sound better than Summer '76?

The Music Never Stopped
June 3, 1976
Paramount Theatre

This one's got the goods. Doesn't shred-out at the end, but tight playing, and great vocals all around.

Not Fade Away

Santa Rosa Fairgrounds

Short but oh-so fine, after the great jam before. Check out how Pigpen sounds he's having a spiritual epiphany on this one.

Going to have to upvote this one. Not only are the Darkness and Stephen jams just hella delicious, but they come out of a superfine AWBYG-outro that just kills me. You can hear how good they felt by the NFA chaos that comes straight after.
Good Lovin'

Club Agora

Long, exploratory rap and great vibe. This show needs some attention, bigtime.
The Other One
Nov. 29, 1970
Club Agora

Deserves a clean-up, bigtime. This, and the Dew are fully epic. It isn't just the energy, which is buried there under the AUD flaws, but the communication between them as they move seamlessly across different landscapes. They're tight and balsy, kicking this one off in a way that deserves a lot more love.

Cgarces: will try to find this, but presently not on the archive and I don't have the DP version. Looking forward to it. Thanks for the tip.
