Springfield Civic Center Arena

Like most everything else from this show, this one is raucous and passionate, like all great NFAs.

Rosemont Horizon

The space in the final solo is indeed getting hot.

Lively version, Jerry was clearly engaged and having fun, even if his chops weren't at 100%. Love the enthusiastic vocals at the end.

The Other One

Laguna Seca Raceway

Firey, trippy version that leads into a strong Wharf Rat. The vocal effects Bobby used on this tune in '87 sometimes sound hokey, but they work here.

Wharf Rat

Laguna Seca Raceway

Intense, focused version with lots of Phil bombs. Coming out of a strong The Other One. A combo that could sometime be a post-space snooze delivers.

This hot version rolls in seamlessly from Lovelight and then segues into a nice Sittin' On Top of the World. It's a tasty sandwich!

The Electric Theatre

The Other One is hot and the transition into The Eleven is just sublime.

Baltimore Civic Center

Love Quinn's comment above, but if you've got 40 minutes to spare, then by all means, give this your attention. It's really a tour de force!

Baltimore Civic Center

This stand-alone Truckin' is a galloping gem.
Box of Rain
Sept. 17, 1970
Fillmore East

Per the Good Ol' Grateful Deadcast podcast, this actually features the same instrumental lineup as the studio version, meaning Phil on acoustic guitar, Jerry on piano, David Nelson on lead guitar, Dave Torbert on bass. Really a sweet version. Would be amazing if a soundboard surfaced someday.
