Long, stretched out great jamming. Serious "Stronger than Dirt" in the middle of it all. Beautiful.

Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

Surrounds a great China Doll, very psychedelic in places, marimba madness and tripped out phasing. Greatness from a not-so-great year.

Not usually an 80's fan, but this one is spooky, mysterious and trippy. Inside a Playin' sandwich that's pretty ripping for the late date, too.

Lot's of fast fun, and just slightly out of control. Seems they're hanging on for dear life. Enjoy!

Just so good. Smooth, great vocals. Jerry's crystal clear and ripping throughout.

Whole 2nd set qualifies for one of the top Phil Zone Jam Sets of the era. WRS/LIG>Spanish>Eyes>China Doll. Goddamn, it's good.

Pauley Pavilion - University of California

Date, plate, slate, Koweit: Doesn't matter to me, 'cause this show tears the roof off the sucker. May be one of my top 10 shows of all time. Goddamn, it's good.

Shreddingly fast guitar work. Jerry's voice sounds young and fresh. Great version, great second set, great show.

Something supremely special with Playing' after Europe '72. Everyone loves Veneta, but don't overlook these peaks from the same week. Always seemed like they pulled it all out just a little bit furthur for the Berkeley crowd.
