Ramble On Rose

Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke U

A very tight version with great Phil bombs and Jerry solo. This show slips under the radar. Don't miss it.

Fire On The Mountain
April 24, 1978
Horton Field House - Illinois State University

Jerry's Mutron magic and Bobby's noodling slide make this version unique. So much energy here.

Drums -> Space

Capital Centre

The jam out of Terrapin>Drums>And>Space is a lysergic MIDI soup of ecstasy. Too bad it had to go into Brent's cheesy lullaby after instead of a Wheel

Estimated Prophet
Aug. 20, 1983
Frost Amphitheatre

A raging '83 version, filled with crispy headiness. Bobby and Jerry steal faces during the end jam.

Winterland Arena

Flawless execution. Perfect Keith solo and Garcia performance. A definitive '77 version.

The Eleven
Oct. 12, 1968
Avalon Ballroom

Not as good as Two from the Vault (8/24), but definitely a top Eleven. No Pigpen on organ, Bobby is a bit muffled in the mix, and the transitions are not as silky smooth, but the energy of this performance makes up for it.
Eyes Of The World
Feb. 9, 1973
Roscoe Maples Pavilion - Stanford University

Check out Bobby's playing throughout this show, especially here. Little mellow fills.
Playin' In The Band
Dec. 19, 1973
Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

Insane transition into the final verse (catch the Phil buzz bomb).
I Need A Miracle
Oct. 18, 1978
Winterland Arena

I judge my Miracles by how fucked up Jerry sounds in the backing vocals. This one wins.
I Need A Miracle
Sept. 16, 1978
Sphinx Theatre

Ohhh yeah. They were still lit as hell on the Gaza shows. Don't let anyone tell you different.
