Bobby is passionate here! Vince is super on this night. Phil with backing bombs. Jerry's solo goes places and is tight. Good performance!

Ripping pigpen on this. Phil has some awesome moments on this one. What a performance
Dire Wolf

A slower dire wolf but grooving and pulling. Jerry has some good vocals on this one and digs into the lyrics very well particularly in the second half. Phil is pretty strong here too as well. A beautiful '74 solo that has flow to it. Another surprise to me that this one is so low on the list. Some gold in '74 that is slipping by! Such a slow/pulling/sing along Dire Wolf that is beautiful.

'60s dead. pigpen puts a ton into it and you gotta love him. The band was strong on 2-25-66. A deserving up vote.

A really strong pigpen showing the whole day and doing amazing work with the keys and vocals on this. It's sandwiched with good morning lil girl, and the strength and tempo is consistent. Side note - Phil in these early showings are amazing!!
They Love Each Other

First show of the '74 tour. Second song on the set list.. I'm really impressed and how strong the whole band was here first night out. Gorgeous early beginning. Strong Jerry vocals and Phil is grooving here for sure. Great drum interplay. Great job on this one. Groovy vibe and a really nice tempo here . .Not to slow or fast. Jerry's vocals are strong/bouncy/and prime. I was very surprised to find this version as low it is. All good! Give it a listen for your self <3 up vote.
