Supercharged Billy at the helm deconstructing and building layers of structure like a master architect. Some of his most inventive fills put to record

Me and My Uncle

Dillon Stadium

Notable for coming straight out of Cumberland and the alternate lyrics “And I Grabbed the Bottle, Grabbed Him in the Jaw” A cowboy classic.

Promised Land

Philadelphia Civic Arena

Firing on all cylinders right out the gate. I'm certain Jerry's fretboard caught fire after that first solo. Impossible not to groove to.

Felt Forum, Madison Square Garden

Delicate. Like a last waltz of the cowboy and his love, with each lick from Jerry conveying the urgency of the story. Keith makes such an impact here.

Part of the beginning is cut off, but that doesn't stop this train from rolling on down the mines. Short and sweet.

Jack A Roe

Auditorium Theatre

Yeah, this is a good one. I always love a great Jack a Roe and this certainly qualifies. The music embodies the words.
The Other One
June 12, 1970
Civic Auditorium

MONSTEROUS. The drums after cryptical are completely demented and full of unnatural power. Mickey and Bill embody the Ouroboros. Very formless, at times reminds me of My Favorite Things. Love Bobby's energy on this too. Plain awesome. The drum solo made my day. Thank you for the suggestion cgarces.
Eyes Of The World
June 28, 1976
Auditorium Theatre

Start from here to experience a truly life changing jam. Blissful Eyes that really gets out there. A whirlwind of imaginative melodic ideas that leads into a deep jam introduced by Phil with his monumental tone as the drummers take us into deep space, only for us to find that happiness is indeed drumming. Stellar. Check out Hunters Trix for the best sounding version of this show.
Fire On The Mountain

Why I love the Grateful Goddamn Dead.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Hofheinz Pavilion

Glorious China>Rider. Keith tears the house down as you can feel the entire band catching on to this wave of energy. So good.
