They Love Each Other

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

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

Scarlet Begonias

Paramount Theatre

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

Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
June 9, 1977
Winterland Arena

The H>S transition is just exactly perfect, as Bobby announces before they tear into it. Tight, pristine musicality here, complete with that mind-bending buzz saw tone an some form-bending riffing before knotting us backwards into the Franklin's. Top five for me definitely.
The Music Never Stopped

Winterland Arena

Jerry rides a tsunami wave across this one. The solo is shredding, and listen to Phil. Jer might be the wave, but Phil's the water.
Good Lovin'
June 7, 1970
Fillmore West

Very special long jam before bringing Pig back in. Not a vocal version - no rap - but worth it for the jam. Do any heads out there know whether this jam has a name? I recall hearing similar themes elsewhere, though can't totally recall where right now.
Cosmic Charlie

Fillmore West

Grindingly out of tune. Rough. No vote.
The Other One
June 7, 1970
Fillmore West

Very heavy explosive jam, in spite of or above and over the kooky chanting. Leads into a "The Main Ten" jam that just blows me away.
