Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
June 25, 1983
St. Paul Civic Center

Starts cooking with Supplication, slowly increasing the frenetic space jazz. They nail the landing on the verse and the closing jam is hot

Great jam

Estimated Prophet
Aug. 30, 1981
Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

Great Estimated that packs a solid bridge jam and a long, trippy outro into He’s Gone

Ship of Fools

Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

This is a good one. Jerry sounds good, the band is tight and the solo is fantastic

Terrapin Station
May 8, 1984
Silva Hall at the Hult Center

Lyrically foggy but played with intensity and clarity. Dreamy guitars and powerful synth swells mixed with 84 darkness and haze. very cool.

Playin' In The Band
Aug. 22, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre

Contemplative, jazzy and exploratory. The band is fully locked in, with Billy fully in the pocket. The jam builds into simmering tones of molten heat without ever fully erupting. I like this one for its measured, tempered feel and there is an elegant, organic way the band ebbs and flows together. Give this a listen.
The Other One
Sept. 9, 1972
Hollywood Palladium

lift off is achieved, the band is in full x-factor mode and some true magic happens. absolutely breathtaking
The Eleven
July 7, 1969
Piedmont Park

Incredibly melodic and stretched out for an Eleven jam, this is a powerfully unique version. Underrated for sure
Estimated Prophet
April 6, 1978
Curtis Hixon Convention Center

Listening to the matrix and the energy is insane. The boys are really on here. Jerry just demolishes the solo peak and the transition into He's Gone is flawless. good lord
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
April 6, 1978
Curtis Hixon Convention Center

Incredibly high energy throughout with maybe the single best transition into the Supplication jam (not the verse) I've heard yet. They really nail this one.
