Not Fade Away
July 17, 1976
Orpheum Theatre

Smoldering hot and long jam capping a great 2nd set. The kind of jam you want to go on forever.

Beat it on Down The Line
Oct. 21, 1971
Auditorium Theatre

Listen in and hear exactly where Jerry's fingers achieve terminal velocity. Keith's first shows have manic wild energy, lots of fun.

The Other One

Northrop Auditorium, U. of Minn.

Hard charging power here in 24 minutes of explosive dark matter. It's a massive oversight that this show hasn't been more widely appreciated.

Northrop Auditorium, U. of Minn.

Stunning. Beautiful harmonies, strong pulse, Keith roars in like they know in advance what he brings. Show needs more love.

Playin' In The Band

Northrop Auditorium, U. of Minn.

Massive transitional masterpiece. 1st with Keith, and he's the missing ingredient that tips PiTB over the edge into its full glory. Great mix.

Uncle John's Band
Nov. 16, 1970
Fillmore East

Seems like the date of the show is in question, with strong arguments for the 16th ("unannounced show") or the 23rd ("Hells Angels Benefit"), with "memories" backing up either story. Either way, it's a magic little show with great accompaniments by guest stars. This UJB is gorgeous.
King Bee
Nov. 23, 1970
Anderson Theatre

Some debate as to this date. Just listened to it all as 16 November 1970. In any case, the whole thing is just amazing. I love how clear Bobby is in the mix throughout, which is so rare for the era.
Feelin' Groovy Jam
May 25, 1972
Strand Lyceum

Right on Robjacobi waikikirob. As I said on the Dark Star comments from this show, this is the music I want playing (on a loop) over my tombstone. Also, nice form on your picture there. Ride one for all those surfers out there who no longer live next to the ocean....
Samson and Delilah
June 9, 1977
Winterland Arena

Charges right out of the gate. Even if this isn't your favorite song, they leave no doubt about their blazing energy. Jerry/Keith communication across the soloing is just brilliant.

Winterland Arena

Ripping opener. It's been so long since I dropped in on this show, but it's like a cool glass of water on a hot day: Just exactly perfect. Jerry's outro solo announced to these lucky fans just what kind of night they were in for.
