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

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.

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

Winterland Arena

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

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

St. Stephen

Honolulu Civic Auditorium

^ Agreed!
Bird Song
Aug. 27, 1972
Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

This one is on you tube. I like seeing the band in action, it was pretty rare in those days. The camera mostly focuses on Jerry playing his strat, which is masterful. The other guys aren't fetured very much, and you don't see Keith at all. They do show way to much of the naked hippy on the light pole, though.
Morning Dew
April 27, 1969
Labor Temple

T.C adds a lot to this tight energetic offering. I love the trippy Dews!
Ship of Fools
May 9, 1977
War Memorial

Coming out of a stellar Comes a Time, they maintain the energy and precision as well as very high caliber Vocals. Donna sounds as good as she ever has on these two songs.
The Other One
Jan. 2, 1970
Fillmore East (Late Show)

^ "Light-on-it's-feet" describes this version perfectly, Ernie. Crisp and confident and melodic. I love Jerry's Gibson tone during this era. This whole show, early and late, is really outstanding. This show will be the upcoming Dave's Picks 30. Lucky for us we can hear a perfectly good transfer on the archive source provided.
