They Love Each Other

U.C.

Most rockin' version I know. The boys sound big and tight throughout this wonderful show.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
May 20, 1973
U.C.

Really tight and uptempo. Jerry sings through a cold, but energetic and inspired guitar work. Perfect transition into Rider.

Playin' In The Band
June 26, 1976
Auditorium Theatre

Complex and experimental around a Stephen>Wheel sandwich. Starts and ends in wild exhuberance, but has lots of spacebugs and dinosaurs in between.

Was this the first Wheel ever? It rolls just so sweetly - not very long, but quite perfect

Very tight, uptempo and deeply grooving. Check out Seamons' matrix for right tape speed. Even Donna's contributino is solid on this one.

An undeniably beautiful version from an outrageously beautiful acoustic set in an unbelievably face-stealingly beautiful show. Did I mention that I like it?
Morning Dew

Marin County Veterans Auditorium

Nice description, couldn't say it better myself. One of the best 80s Dews I know.
Drums -> Space
April 1, 1984
Marin County Veterans Auditorium

Interstellar undersea worlds with an occasional Persian carpet-riding caterpillars whooshing through en route to a killer Dew: Yep, that'll do nicely, thanx.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
April 1, 1984
Marin County Veterans Auditorium

The Slipknot alone would merit an up vote, but the long, grooving Franklin's sets it in stone.

Good call hvd, and I'll check out 10.12.83 too. Sounds almost like they forgot which set they were in and were just itching to lift off into it. This one could be much higher, and it's a great example of the mid-80s sound that first got me on the bus.
