This one is stretched out. Solid Jerry shredding throughout.

Love the way this version crashes into drums. Nice way to end a 6 song pre-drums sequence.

Jerry mumbles threw the lyrics but the jam is hot!

Dark Star
Jan. 2, 1970
Fillmore East (Late Show)

Loving this Dark Star from Dave's Picks 30. All sorts of subtleties to catch in this one. Around the 22 minute mark you can hear a Sugar Magnolia jam that's pretty cool. The first one wouldn't have been played till June of the same year.
Black Peter
Jan. 2, 1970
Fillmore East (Late Show)

These early Black Peters' always seem a little too slow and plodding to me. This version is no different. I would imagine this sucked the life out of the room for those that were there.
Mason's Children
Jan. 2, 1970
Fillmore East (Late Show)

This version slays
Might As Well
June 14, 1976
Beacon Theatre

Jerry's solo is very authoritative. Energetic and punchy version.
St. Stephen
Jan. 23, 1970
Honolulu Civic Auditorium

Doesn't include the William Tell lyrics but has a cool segue into Lovelight.
