Not Fade Away
May 28, 1977
Hartford Civic Center

Brilliant double Jerry/Phil solo. Who know that NFA could be such an exploration? A blazing 2nd set tour-closer from Spring '77. What else?!?

Good Lovin'

Hartford Civic Center

That Bob and Jerry both get barnburning warm ups (Bertha then this) pays off throughout this immortal show. Don't just start with the 2nd set!

Playin' In The Band
Sept. 23, 1972
Palace Theater

Nice hot version. Not as tripped out as some and never melts down, but 18 minutes of fun.

Playin' In The Band
Oct. 31, 1971
Ohio Theatre

Hard blistering acid rock with the '71 country vox. 6 minutes, but with the seeds within it that would become Playin' as we know it in '72.

Uncle John's Band
Feb. 18, 1971
Capitol Theater

Energetic encore. Rolling drums and tight energy ending a brilliant show like they were ready for another set.

Eyes Of The World
June 24, 1973
Memorial Coliseum

Starts really loose, but gets going.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Oct. 27, 1973
Indianapolis State Fair Coliseum

Crystal clear and jam-a-licious. A sparkling beauty.
Let It Grow
March 25, 1983
Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

Confirms why I'm not so into the '80s.
St. Stephen
Aug. 6, 1971
Hollywood Palladium

"Mellowish" but not mellow like the sleeeeeeeepy '76s. It still has some of the psychedelic bite from the primal years. Love love love it.
Dark Star
Oct. 25, 1973
Dane County Coliseum

I'd vote for this one twice on the MLB alone. Zo zweet.
