Jai-Alai Fronton

Nice melodies from Jerry, hot Phil soloing, then a unique mellow and spacey segue into Wharf Rat

Tight version; jam has bounce, pizzaz, and energy spilling all over the place...these '74 Scarlets are a breed all their own!

New Haven Coliseum

I agree grendel, this version is definitely better than 6/30/85; it brings the serious funk!
Terrapin Station
March 18, 1977
Winterland Arena

"Alahambra" should really be labeled "At a Siding", since that is what this piece is called on the album version of the Terrapin Suite. But technicalities aside, this is a good one, and not just for the historical significance.

Carrier Dome, Syracuse U

Awesome extended soloing in this one
Cryptical Envelopment
Feb. 22, 1969
Dream Bowl

One of the all-time best Crypticals IMO. They really take this one up a notch towards the end.
The Other One
Nov. 22, 1972
Austin Municipal Auditorium

Good one! Gets better with each listen.
