Feelin' Groovy Jam

University of Iowa

This one emerges from a Phil solo. There are only two fragments of this show on the archive.

Sometimes hard to tell one from another. But whatever. This one is good. It's from City Island, which should have been a cool spot to watch a show.

There is some magic post rio grandeo.

Strike another match, go start anew: First one in 7 years. Sweet and slow, like the dozens to follow in the 80s and 90s.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

This one is great for this time of year. The Seaweed soundboard makes the whole version sound great but the transition is really where this version shines. It's one idea after another and in that respect it is like a sonic springtime bursting forth

That’s fantastic

Orpheum Theatre

I wish there were more of this song from this era, but this is it. Others may have strong feelings about this, but for me the song never sounds better than it does during this ‘76 rehearsal, even the album.

My favorite Deals come from 1981.

I hadn’t listened in years and I just listened on a run this morning. Pre and post are brilliant but differently. And in spite of the flubs this one has a lot in common with versions of this era that are among the best overall. I’ll have to listen to that Other One to hear the echoes of that famous show. But compare the ethereal beginning of post rio grandeo on this one to other post sections for the year which often start off with a bang instead. This one is pretty cool
