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.

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!

Feel Like A Stranger

Augusta Civic Center

Absolutely killer show with one of the all-time best Lost>Saints. This Stranger has one of the most organized jams I've ever heard. Great work from the boys.

Okay, you HAVE to listen to this source: http://archive.org/details/gd1985-06-24.mtx.pytlik.32310.sbeok.flac16 There are some sonic issues at the beginning that cause Jerry's vocal track to spit and duplicate. It sounds like there are four Jerry's singing in unison, and it is fucking cool! Hands down best Alabama. The band is just on, and Jerry really belts out the vocals.
