Giants Stadium

The boys had the odasity to play this song during their set at Giants stadium during the Dylan and the Dead tour, and rightfully so!

It Must Have Been The Roses
June 21, 1976
Tower Theater

If it wasn't for some audio glitches, this would be one of the top versions of this song. Keith and Donna are both outstanding on this one.

The Other One

San Jose state university

A brilliantly played O1 that has been tragically overlooked. The mix on this is spot on.

Easy Wind

Winterland Arena

There is a nice guitar interplay between Jerry and Bobby on this one. Nice bouncy version.

It Must Have Been The Roses

Other than some talking on this recording, this is a really good version.

Casey Jones

Fillmore East (Late Show)

^^Agreed. Trouble ahead for the boy's, but on that night, all was well. Early and late, both good shows.
Turn On Your Love Light
Feb. 23, 1968
Kings Beach Bowl

^^^ I think the drummers sound pretty locked in on this one, considering they had played together for less then 5 months. It's not the best recording, that's for sure, but the playing is good and it's bursting with energy
China Doll
May 21, 1974
Edmundson Pavilion

Jerry really sells the vocal on this one. It sounds like Keith is playing organ and piano at the same time, maybe someone else is playing organ. Ship of fools also has a nice organ part. They did have guests occasionally, so who knows.
Dark Star
Feb. 23, 1968
Kings Beach Bowl

^^^This is a good example of a very early Dark Star. it's fast and simple. There are no extended jams. There are no drums just maracas and guiro. This song really evolved through 68, by October this would become a psychedelic master piece; specifically 10-12-68.
Playin' In The Band
March 23, 1981
Rainbow Theatre

Good version. Nice call and response between Jerry and Bobby during Jerrys solo.
