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
April 1, 1984
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
June 14, 1976
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.

Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
Oct. 15, 1976
Shrine Auditorium

Hella great energy: Just savage at the transition point from LL>Sup, and Bobby tears it up like his life depended on it.
Good Lovin'
Dec. 23, 1970
Winterland Arena

New C. Miller cleanup makes this an fun-fest, even if they just can't seem to get the monitors right....
Deep Elem Blues
Sept. 30, 1971
Studio

There's another funky electric version on the recently posted Charlie Miller cleanup of 23 December 1970, which is different, but also freakin' fantastic.
Dancin' in the Streets
Oct. 5, 1970
Winterland Arena

gdtrfb Era E: Is this the same as the dubiously dated 17 December 1970 on the Archive? I don't have the Family Dog stuff. If it is, it's freakin' hot stuff.
Cold Rain and Snow
Dec. 17, 1970
The Matrix

Questionable date, but unquestionably awesome. Should be much higher - and the alternative date (October 4, 1970) proposed by some commentators on the archive is not up here - so listen up, heads, this one is the goods.
