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

New Potato Caboose
May 5, 1967
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)
Feb. 5, 1978
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!

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Dec. 8, 1973
Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke U

This version is played at a slightly different tempo, and Bobby makes some little changes to his solo. Very tight and peppy performance. This whole show is under the radar, with some intense second set playing.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
March 23, 1995
Charlotte Coliseum

Bruce and Vince really drive this.
Wharf Rat
Dec. 28, 1978
Golden Hall, Community Concourse

Also the performance where Jerry yells "QUIET" to Keith when he's banging away on the piano during the "but I'll get back" bridge.
Dancin' in the Streets
June 9, 1976
Boston Music Hall

Fall into the Phil Zone.
He's Gone
Aug. 5, 1974
Philadelphia Civic Arena

The solo before the bridge is particularly remarkable. Garcia really works it.
