He Was A Friend of Mine

Monterey Performing Arts Center

So blissful you might just find yourself floating out of time. A beautiful mellow island in a sea of blazing psychedelia. China Cat tease at the end.

Dark Star
Oct. 30, 1968
The Matrix

Rarity w/o Pig or Bobby, but TWO glorious Dark Star jams on this "goof" of a night. Strictly speaking not the Dead, but it's here and its glorious.

Turn On Your Love Light
Oct. 30, 1968
The Matrix

A rarity: No Pig or Bobby & no vocals. Still, beautifully inventive soloing shows why they kept it in rotation for so long. This "goof" is worth it.

So much feeling coming off an interstellar DS>StS>11 and then they just put this show to bed with brilliance and feeling.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Hollywood Bowl

Really stellar transitional FGJ.
Eyes Of The World
July 19, 1974
Selland Arena

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.
Uncle John's Band
Nov. 17, 1973
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.
Uncle John's Band
Dec. 26, 1979
Oakland Auditorium

Shreddingly fast guitar work. Jerry's voice sounds young and fresh. Great version, great second set, great show.
Playin' In The Band
Aug. 24, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre

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.
