U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
June 30, 1974
Civic Center

Powerful U.S. Blues that veers into a solid Truckin'. Seamless transition between the two

Dire Wolf
Sept. 16, 1987
Madison Square Garden

Sublime Dire Wolf - Jerry kills it with perfect vocals and excellent playing. Best of '87 if not the entire post-coma era
2
Sugar Magnolia
Sept. 17, 1973
Onondaga County War Memorial

Not the most remarkable Sugar Mag BUT it has horns + Jerry sings the first verse

Drums
May 18, 1977
Fox Theatre

Really fun Drums out of Eyes that leads into one of the most fiery Other One's of the year ('76-'77 O1's are quite mellow). Do not skip at all costs

Aiko Aiko
June 14, 1984
Red Rocks Amphitheater

Rockin' show opener with the band in full form. Everyone can be heard nicely in the Soundboard mix

Stir It Up
April 5, 1991
The Omni

Jerry leads them straight into it - lots of fun in this second set, even if it's nothing outstanding per se
Terrapin Station
Dec. 30, 1990
Coliseum Arena

Underrated af????? Comes out of space and the pre drums of this set is no slouch either, containing a nearly 20 min Playin'. A really great treat that's executed well and segues into Sugar Mag
Playin' In The Band
Dec. 30, 1990
Coliseum Arena

The band had come out to play! Beautiful melding of everyone's instruments - Phil thundering along. I really love the tone Jerry locks into for this one - sharper, less spacy
Dark Hollow
Oct. 11, 1980
Warfield Theater

Great Dark Holler
Uncle John's Band
Dec. 27, 1987
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

The new Ultramatrix really clears up this one, what a great version
