Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Milwaukee Auditorium

The second instrumental break, Jerry goes nutzoid, cranking it up higher and higher. A must hear version.

From the Heart of Me

Boston Music Hall

Nice showcase tune for Donna, to show the world she can do more than scream. Nice guitar work by Jerry towards the end.

Pigpen takes some small steps forward with his improvisational singing, but there's still a long way to go. Worth a listen.

Fun early version highlighted by some good Pigpen vocals and some screaming guitar work from Jerry. Give it a listen!

Let's face it - Phil's singing isn't very good and the instrumental work isn't up to Grateful Dead standards.

This is pretty low in the rankings of all-time best performances. The only real strong point is Bob's emphatic backup vocals.
