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

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.

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!

I can't believe this performance hasn't gotten more notice here. This is the definitive stand-alone version. Trippy Donna wails and extraordinary jamming between all members of the band. 11+ minutes. Bobby and Jerry really feel their way through this.

Yeah, I have to say, Jerry kicking on a fuzz box for the solo makes this version unique, but 7/19 is not nearly as remarkable as the DP 31 performances or a few of the stand-alone versions from '76/early '77. Can you really say this is better than 8/5/74??

Memorial Coliseum

Mickey and Billy led the jam on this performance. Lots of great drumming behind the spacey guitars/keys/bass.
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
Feb. 17, 1973
St. Paul Auditorium

Wow, not many people noticing this version. It's the most original one post-songwriting.

Winterland Arena

This version is really a lot different from the standard '77 version. Unique Jerry solo and upbeat feel.
