High-energy playin' from the boys. Great Garcia solos and Phil bombs.

Fillmore Auditorium

Electric cool-aid acid version from the beginning of the Summer of Love. You can actually get body waves from listening to this one. Love the organ.

They Love Each Other
Nov. 1, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

A truly heady version from fall '79. Brent's key-clicking Rhodes piano and Jerry's beautiful solo make this my favorite version. TIGHT performance.

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

Uni Dome, U of Northern Iowa

A bit rough around the edges but BALLS OUT energy the whole way through. An incredible performance with Jerry belting it out.

Crazy unique FOTM intro jam, unlike any other version I've heard. LOVE '78!

Scarlet Begonias

Winterland Arena

While I listen to many Scarlets for the jam, I listen to this one for the vocals. Jerry and Donna just nail every verse, and there is some very trippy Donna wails during the jam (the Scarlet jam here is nice, but mostly uninteresting; Jerry sort of holds back to let Phil and Bobby pluck away while he noodles around, pulls out the slide, ect).

Oh yes; this is the definitive...absolutely spine-chilling...then Feedback....I just lifted off...

The band were playing ahead of their time this night. Incredible synergy and primal deadness. Album quality work this night.
Black Peter
Aug. 25, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre

Looks like this show is getting some well-deserved attention via Dave's Picks. This performance of Black Peter is "just exactly perfect" with top-notch Jerry vocals and some hair-raising instrumental segments. Nice supporting vocals from Phil as well.
Truckin'

San Diego International Sports Arena

Jerry just keeps pushing the jams here. Very interesting and unique Truckin'>Other One.
